If you want the state to regulate abortion by pure arbitrary power of decree, then please don't talk to me about our other inalienable rights , including the right to carry.

If one does not respect the right to life, liberty & property of their peers then one has no reason to demand that selfsame respect from others.


And can the "Cordially" bit.. -- Its pretty obvious youre not being cordial.

...If one does not respect the right to life, liberty & property of their peers...

Exactly my point. The right to life is the sine qua non of all other rights, including the right to carry. If someone tried to chop you up you would be justified in putting a bullet through his brain. Unfortunately, the preborn are not big enough or strong enough to grip a firearm to defend themselves against attack.

The pre-born are our peers. "...All men are created equal and are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights. Among these are the right to life..."

Cordially,
