I'm not an American, so I won't vote in the poll, but personally if I lived in the US and had the right to vote I'm not sure what I would do. I guess it would depend on how much lives would be saved and damage would be avoided on either choice. My guess is that making abortion illegal would save the most amount of lives (and the most amount of innocent lives as well, which is not an insignificant factor), but there's also the question of whether you have the right to take away the right to self-defense from someone else because you think abortion should not be a thing.
If it was just a question of a hypothetical me living in the US personally giving up my hypothetical gun rights in order to make abortion illegal? I'd do it in a heartbeat.
But trading away, or limiting, the rights of everyone to bear arms in order to stop abortion? I don't trust my moral judgement enough to make that choice.

There is almost never* a valid reason to kill innocent unborn children.
There ARE valid reasons to own guns.
*the most tolerable being the termination of a pregnancy to save the life of the motherThe first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

Depends on what you mean by "strict gun control". That would be hard for me as hunting is my main outdoor hobby. It's the one of the few things that my oldest son and I share together, as well as a life long friend and I share. As much as I am pro-life, that's a BIG ask for me. I would have to think long and hard on it."What has the Church gained if it is popular, but there is no conviction, no repentance, no power?" - A.W. Tozer

I vote for very strict abortion limits (a la CP) and stronger gun rights protection.Micah 6:8 He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?
