Greetings tWebbers... Question for Americans regarding Gun control and Abortion matters. If you could 'trade' away your Gun rights in exchange for making abortion illegal, or conversely, if you could introduce strict gun controls but lose the legal right to abortion, would you vote for it?

You should never negotiate away your rights. Once you do you have lost.

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.Comment

Well if you could make sure that no bad guys had guns, I might make the trade off for the sake of the unborn.Originally posted by MankyScotsGit View PostAtheism is the cult of death, the death of hope. The universe is doomed, you are doomed, the only thing that remains is to await your execution...

I don't usually like "either/or" choices, especially of this magnitude, and of such dissimilar effect.Originally posted by MankyScotsGit View Post
There is almost never* a valid reason to kill innocent unborn children.
There ARE valid reasons to own guns.

Yeah if there were a world where there were NO Guns and NO abortion, that would be an easy choice.Originally posted by seer View Post

My thoughts exactly. Once you put basic rights on the table as a bargaining chip, you're in a no-win situation.Originally posted by Sparko View PostSome may call me foolish, and some may call me odd

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?Comment

Yes to making abortion illegal. The life of a child is worth more than the right to own a firearm.Comment

How bout rigidly enforcing all gun laws already on the books, and no abortions?The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.Comment
