    Well the other difference is.....


    The legal status of guns and abortion are also different: The right to abortion that isn’t mentioned in the Constitution has received more judicial protection than the right to guns that is. The arguments over guns and abortion tend to come into contact with each other in the form of accusations of hypocrisy.


    Senator Kamala Harris, a liberal Democrat from California, tweeted after the Parkland massacre: “We cannot tolerate a society and live in a country with pride when our babies are being slaughtered.” Conservatives pointed out that she votes in lockstep with NARAL on abortion. Supporters of gun control, meanwhile, frequently jeer at Republicans: If they’re so “pro-life,” why won’t they restrict the guns that are responsible for more than 33,000 deaths in our country each year? These accusations almost never move anyone to change his mind.

    A supporter of gun control can support abortion on the ground that unborn children don’t have the same claim to legal protection that the teenagers killed in school shootings do. There’s nothing inconsistent in that argument; it is simply, many of us are convinced, mistaken. We pro-lifers can maintain consistent principles while treating guns and abortion differently because every abortion ends the life of an unborn child, while the vast majority of guns are never used to kill anyone.




    The gun debate revolves around whether the use of guns to kill people should lead us to restrict their availability even for other uses. The abortion debate concerns whether we should treat abortion as a kind of killing at all. In an average week, guns kill more than 600 people in America, and everyone agrees it is a terrible thing. In an average week, abortion kills more than 17,000 unborn children in America, and we are bitterly divided over whether it is a terrible thing. And that’s where the parallels end......snip~

    As you can see the leftist did what they always do. Not even understanding the differences. They just don't have the brain capacity to comprehend why the differnces exist. Which is a defect in their creation.

    LoL @ someone with no honor trying to defend the honor of someone else....

    "As elected prosecutors with charging discretion, we choose not to prosecute individuals pursuant to these deeply concerning laws," the June statement, released by the group Fair and Just Prosecution, read.


    The signatories included district attorneys from several states, as well as 11 attorneys general from California, Vermont, Delaware, Massachusetts, Nevada, Maryland, Michigan, Washington, D.C., Illinois, Oregon, and Pennsylvania.


    "Not all of us agree on a personal or moral level on the issue of abortion. And not all of us are in states where women's rights are threatened by statutes criminalizing abortion," the attorneys also said.

    The statement was the latest indication that a series of pro-life victories would have to overcome resistance both within and outside of the government. State and federal abortion restrictions -- including "heartbeat" legislation, clinic regulations, and surgical abortion bans -- have already faced legal challenges from groups like Planned Parenthood and the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU)…...snip~

    So they wont follow the law in States that are banning abortion. Since they are voted into Office. They believe they cant be touched and the only way to get them out of Office is to vote them out. So, hook them up on misconduct and ethics charges. Procedural charges. Then put them under investigation for failing to uphold the law. That should make it difficult for them to run for Office again and if they do run again. Make it known that they wont uphold All law. Destroy their careers and make sure they can never work in government again. What say ye?

    So now you've explained how you made your mistake in interpreting Dave. Thank you.

    We all make mistakes, alexa, even you.

    You might want to address MMC who's killing you on differences between the two cases.

    Delusional doesn't even begin to describe you.

    If I had intended to call Dave a hypocrite, I would have said Dave you're a hypocrite.

    It's not like I'm a shrinking violet, you know.

    You can ask anyone.

    MMC is killing me in the same way that I called Dave a hypocrite, Mrs Kravitz.
