What argument have I made regarding gun toters, and the Second Amendment? I'm all for you having the right to bear arms and tote those guns around, because I support the conservative principle that we are guaranteed individual liberty.

That's why I don't understand how "conservatives" can believe they have a right to own a gun, but that women don't have a right to their own body.

Please explain why you believe you are entitled to own a gun, but I'm not entitled to decide what to do with my body.
And if you would be so kind, I'd like to know what empowers you to make the choice for me, when the law says you do not.

Two bodies and two lives at stake. The woman's and the baby's. The baby is a separate individual. The "mother" is entrusted with that life.
