How can so many conservatives (or pretty much all of them since they are so partisan it is ridiculous, though the liberals are too) be both pro-life and pro-gun. This just baffles me. The best I can come up with is that they have decided it is not okay to knowingly kill someone who hasn't had a chance at life, but when you accidentally kill someone who has established a life (whether good or bad) then it isn't really a big deal. I mean, is this right, or am I just missing something?

It's this whole "well, he's had his chance, he's gone down the wrong path, now the mofo deserves to die" mindset that makes me sick. That and the hardcore Christians that are still pro-war. Mind-blowing.

You mustn't be afraid to dream a little bigger, darling.

I don't understand many things about Conservatives but one thing baffles me more than most.

I think you're confusing "pro life" with "anti killing."

It sounds like you have a very specific view of what each position constitutes.

For what it is worth, you and I are not so far apart on abortion.

Conversely, how can liberals be pro-abortion but anti-death penalty?

In my case, because of the areas certainty exists and those where it is impossible.

That is a very good point, too, one that had never occurred to me.

Abortion is "not germane" to asking how one can reconcile opposing abortion while supporting guns?

Discussing Supreme Court rulings on abortion in detail is not *NM*

Not in detail, just in both citing "good cause," yet interpreting it VERY differently.

My biggest problem with that from a religious perspective is preempting the chance to repent.
