Guns Don't Kill People, Abortion Does.

I found a great t-shirt while surfing the web over the weekend. It said, “Guns don’t kill people, abortion kills people.” I hope it arrives in time for my parents’ next visit. You see, my mom is a civil lawyer, a feminist and a Canadian. By contrast, I am a canon lawyer, a traditional Catholic and a legal resident of the United States. To the chagrin of my father, also a lawyer, bickering over gun control or abortion is a favorite past-time when talking to my mother.

While going another round over the phone with mom the other day, she appealed to the obligatory statistics. You know the ones – basically the number of violent gun crimes in the United States versus the number in Canada. Of course, liberal proponents of the nanny state feel these statistics vindicate their position. Perhaps these social leftists feel residual guilt over having abandoned their children to daycare facilities as they pursue their career. I know not. But never mind personal responsibility and civil liberties, social liberalism makes for a kinder and gentler state.

Or does it? After stumbling upon this t-shirt, the time was ripe for my own statistical analysis – not for my sake, but for my mother’s. Tough love works both ways in the parent-child relationship; just as friends don’t let friends vote for Bill, good sons don’t allow their mothers to parrot Hillary. But enough musing about my family; when compared to the statistics on gun violence, the abortion issue speaks for itself. In short, liberals kill more people than guns.

Well, if he really wanted to have fun, he could lie to mumsy and tell her that her first, second, and third grandchild had been aborted and number four was about to get chopped because it was inconvenient.

Guns don’t kill people, abortion kills people

I see another tagline to add to my collection.

Ping. (As usual, if you would like to be added to or removed from my "conservative Catholics" ping list, just send me a FReepmail. Please realize that some of my "ping" posts are long.)

Dear Polycarp,

"Guns don't kill people, abortions kill people."

Technically, I think abortionists kill people.

Thanks for the ping.

Technical assistance duly noted and tagline properly edited ;-)

Looks like they had it right to begin with:

I'm ordering several of these bumper stickers.

"...my mom is a civil lawyer, a feminist and a Canadian."

Yow! The trifecta! Seriously, may God be with you. That's quite a cross you have to bear.

“Guns don’t kill people, abortion kills people.”

It would make a great bumper sticker
