Congressman’s Bumper Sticker: If Babies Had Guns, They Wouldn’t Be Aborted
Life News ^ | Steven Ertelt

Congressman Steve Stockman has a new bumper sticker and he tweeted it out to his constituents and supporters Friday afternoon in response to the controversy surrounding abortion practitioner Kermit Gosnell.

The pro-life Texas Republican said the new slogan would be his campaign bumper sticker.

Maybe his position is righteous but his slogan writing is completely inane. This is one reason why Conservatives lose elections. They make themselves look like fools with poorly thought-out sayings like this. Todd Akins.

Interesting one liner. Almost tagline worthy.

It would be tempting. To quote Richard Nixon; “but it would be wrong”. :)

Let’s think about this for a second. Just one second, please.

Suppose a baby had a gun, in the womb, could finger the trigger with his/her tiny hands, could reach outside the amniotic sac to hold the gun, which would break the amniotic sac (as would the fired round) and probably abort the baby or at least force delivery on the spot. And the baby saw some medical device entering the womb, took aim, and fired at something he/she could not see (violating all gun rules) and the bullet punctured the womb and the mother’s belly from the inside, whether it hit the intruding device or not.

How is this whole picture not the dumbest thing imaginable? Vote for the guy and/or support his positions if you want to, I probably would too. My comment remains, the word picture is so completely absurd that it calls into question the coherence of the person who not only comes up with such a proposition, but thinks it’s so darn smart that he prints it on a bumper sticker. As long as we’re talking totally absurdity and making stuff up, shouldn’t he really have a ray gun that targets medical devices?

This type of thing doesn’t do him any favors with anyone who doesn’t already support him, and makes him look like a goofball to anyone who doesn’t. It makes the notion that he’s somewhat goofy very, very easy to ideate in the mind of anyone who isn’t already a supporter.

Yeah, lets think about this for a second.

We live in a country where a minor can walk into a clinic carrying a little person with a heartbeat, and walk out later, after a "procedure", leaving a lifeless child.

Spare me please.

Completely irrelevant to the topic, which is the goofballism of the statement, not your or my position on abortion. It’s a silly proposition that will subject the person who thought it was a clever idea to total ridicule and get him unelected, just like Todd Akin. So if you want to stop abortion, then it makes perfect sense to support a candidate who excludes himself from electability by making goofy statements. This puts his opponent into office. That work for you?

Yeah duffus. Great "science". Great NRA "don't put your finger on the trigger until you know you need to shoot". Bumper stickers don't come in paragraphs genius.

How about , If your 15 yr old can choose to have an abortion, maybe they should register for the draft

Sometimes literal interpretation is stupid, but the point is still salient.
