I’m not pro-murdering babies.
I’m pro-Becky who found out at her 20 week anatomy scan that the infant she had been so excited to bring into this world had developed without life sustaining organs.
I’m pro-Susan who was sexually assaulted on her way home from work, only to come to the horrific realization that her assailant planted his seed in her when she got a positive pregnancy test result a month later.
I’m pro-Theresa who hemorrhaged due to a placental abruption, causing her parents, spouse, and children to have to make the impossible decision on whether to save her or her unborn child.
I’m pro-little Cathy who had her innocence ripped away from her by someone she should have been able to trust and her 11 year old body isn’t mature enough to bear the consequence of that betrayal.
I’m pro-Melissa who’s working two jobs just to make ends meet and has to choose between bringing another child into poverty or feeding the children she already has because her spouse walked out on her.
I’m pro-Brittany who realizes that she is in no way financially, emotionally, or physically able to raise a child.
I’m pro-Emily who went through IVF, ending up with SIX viable implanted eggs requiring selective reduction in order to ensure the safety of her and a SAFE amount of fetuses.
I’m pro-Christina who doesn’t want to be a mother, but birth control methods sometimes fail.
I’m pro-Jessica who is FINALLY getting the strength to get away from her physically abusive spouse only to find out that she is carrying the monster’s child.
I’m pro-Vanessa who went into her confirmation appointment after YEARS of trying to conceive only to hear silence where there should be a heartbeat.
I’m pro-Lindsay who lost her virginity in her sophomore year with a broken condom and now has to choose whether to be a teenage mom or just a teenager.
I’m pro-Courtney who just found out she’s already 13 weeks along, but the egg never made it out of her fallopian tube so either she terminates the pregnancy or risks dying from internal bleeding.
You can argue and say that I’m pro-choice all you want, but the truth is:
I’m pro-life.
Their lives.
Women’s lives.
You don’t get to pick and choose which scenarios should be accepted.
Women’s rights are meant to protect ALL women, regardless of their situation!

And it’s not just women to think about. It should be a choice for all people who are able to get pregnant.

A quick glance at your site suggests you are in favour of this abortion ban? Or are you merely in favouring of letting individual states determine what women can and cannot do with their bodies? I see you are in favour of the 2nd Amendment – with that in mind, and presuming your pro-life stance, what steps would you suggest be taken to protect children from gun violence?

Favor the woman’s right to choose whether to keep her baby or not. In the context of States rights. If a woman lives in a state hostile to what she chooses to do with her baby … the woman has the right to move to a state that respects her opinion.
Guns do not kill any more than to swords or axes. It takes a person to pull the trigger.
Therefore the anarchy within our nation where citizens see no alliance with their fellow citizens. Where leaders like Nancy Pelosi think that illegal aliens have Constitutional Rights. Strongly favor aborting Nancy Pelosi and her idiot supporters — off with their heads. National leaders need to address what makes American allies as opposed to foreign enemies.

OK, so you’re pro-choice. Beyond that, the rhetoric is troubling.
You see, whilst *technically* you are correct in that someone needs to wield the weapon, a gun is a far more efficient killing weapon than a sword, axe, club, or anything else (short of explosives). This is demonstrated by murder rates. In the US, nearly 80% of all murders involve firearms. The US murder with guns *alone* is higher than the combined total murder rates of the UK, France and Japan. In the US, States set individual gun laws, and this inconsistent mess is part of the reason why gun violence in the US is shockingly high, when compared to other economically developed nations. So, whilst the old adage ‘people kill people’ might be true from a technical viewpoint, the grim reality is that guns make it far easier for people to kill people.
Your final remarks are the most worrisome aspect of your comment. I will give you the benefit of the doubt, and assume you are not in fact advocating for violence.

It’s not rocket science, and all your conflating and obscuring won’t change that. You are claiming that murderers will kill regardless of method. However, is it easier to kill with a gun, or without a gun?
The answer is obvious, and the evidence for that answer is everywhere, yet you have played games and danced around and employed a scatty approach to avoid scrutinising the subject, presumably because you can’t. You’re not willing to face facts. You also seem to think this conversation is akin to a court of law – it isn’t.
With all that in mind, prove that guns, and ease of access to guns, isn’t actually the source of the USA’s high gun homicide rate, or the source of the USA’s unique gun violence problem. After all, that’s what you’ve been arguing. You seem to believe we shouldn’t consider the method of murder, that it’s somehow irrelevant that lethal weapons are very easy to obtain.
Since you won’t do any work to actually demonstrate that guns aren’t a factor in gun violence (some truly unique cognitive disassociation there), I’ll put forward *my* case. I’ll start with this:
https://www.bloomberg.com/graphics/2022-us-gun-violence-world-comparison/
Before you whine about statistics, remember that they don’t exist in a vacuum. The numbers come from *somewhere*. It is a fact that the USA has more gun deaths per 100,000 people than any other economically developed nation – and more gun deaths than several under-developed nations as well.
https://www.healthdata.org/acting-data/gun-violence-united-states-outlier
More grim reading, and more facts that you may want to run away from, but the truth doesn’t change, just because you don’t like it. Australia, the UK, Spain, Canada and Germany… you can add up all their gun homicides and it adds up to a rate four times lower than the US gun murder rate. But please, tell me again how guns aren’t a factor in gun violence, I’d be fascinated to know how you reach that conclusion, and what evidence you can present to back up that claim.
After all, you were the one who said ‘Guns don’t kill … people kill.’ Perhaps that’s technically true, but guns clearly and obviously make it a lot easier to kill no?
