Duplicity

According to politicians and the press there is an ongoing “national debate” on the topic of gun control; (though I think the debate is more imagined than real). Granted, there has been far too many instances of crazed gunmen going after innocent people in our schools and theaters, but to label the dynamic as a debate is, I think, an exaggeration.

But whatever we call it, it always amazes me that those among politicians and the press who shout the loudest about gun control take a so-called

… Pro-choice (or Pro-abortion) stance.

And yet, “the numbers are in” and while perhaps a hundred or less men, women and children are killed in instances of mass murder each year in America, 3-5 thousand pregnancies are terminated on a daily basis in this country; (not including the relatively rare, and admittedly controversial exceptions for deformity, rape, incest and “the life of the mother.”)

It’s time for politicians and the press to, as the colloquial adage goes, “Wake up and smell the coffee.” If you’re going to take a stand against gun control, look at the numbers, and condemn the wholesale practice of abortion which in the years since Roe vs. Wade has subtracted the potential of a full 50 million potential lives from this nation.
