A conservative is someone who thinks strict laws against guns won’t stop gun crime, but strict laws against abortion will stop abortions.

@LeopoldBloom You're comparing apples to oranges.

@Nitedoc Not really. Both guns and abortion are very popular, and passing laws against them will only inconvenience people who want them both. The only way to eliminate guns and abortion would be a police state.

@LeopoldBloom How did prohibition work out?
LeopoldBloom · M
@MrBrownstone My point exactly. You can't outlaw something popular and expect success. We're going to see similar results with the current attempts to outlaw abortion.
