I understand your point of view but the problem with any analogy is that it does break down after a point.

First, in regards to the one bullet idea, a friend of mine taught me how to reload ammunition about 25 years ago - I will never be in a position where I have only one bullet should someone decide to visit me in the middle of the night (or at any other time of the day or night) with nefarious intent! Additionally, I should note that reloading ammunition at home is long and tedious procedure, but then so to is picking, choosing, and campaigning for Pro-Life legislators. It is worthwhile -- even if it takes a while. I think we need to keep electing more and more Pro-Life candidates.

The second thought that comes to mind is that it took nearly a hundred years for a President, a Congress and a Supreme Court to decide that Slavery should not only be morally reprehensible but illegal as well. They kept trying and eventually the South Seceded from the Union and then those who had fought for Abolition of Slavery were faced with the consequences of their actions. They had to fight to keep the Union whole and intact inspire of the fact that there were still people in the South who thought it was perfectly permissible to own other human beings (and just like, today, there are people who think they should have the choice to kill unborn children because they are inconvenient. Most (and yes, I know, not all) have already exercised their choice when they chose to engage in unprotected, pre-, post-, or extra- marital sex.

I don't think we will ever be able to legislate morality but Abortion is not about morality, it's about the killing of unborn children and that is or at least should be criminal (in my humble opinion).

You didn't finish reading. I said - let's get more bullets.

We're shooting too soon.
