Blanket statements on either side of this argument can never be "right".

Very nice points. Rather, I was talking about gun control. I'm not going to wait to see what the guy is going to do after the fact, I'll shoot him with one of my 9 guns.
For the rape pregnancy I personally am not debating that there are hard choices, but that there are in fact different opinions that all matter. What gets me is the idea that someone is going to tell me that a 13 year old girl can go to an abortion clinic 5 months pregnant and kill the fetus and the girls parents cant even stop it or talk to the girl to convince her to stop but I, a 30 year old man with not so much as a j-walking record to my name can't carry a gun to protect myself in self defense. Thats great, the only people who get the power of life and death are the people making the mistakes.
