[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I firmly believe in the right to keep and bear arms, although I would never allow a gun in my house.

What is the inherent conflict in this statement?  None.  [/quote]
Because you see nothing immoral about bearing arms. You simply choose not to have a gun.  The reason people say I would never have an abortion is because they view it as killing a baby.  How can you see it as killing a baby, but be pro-choice about it?[/quote]
Not at all.  My first son was conceived unintentionally on my honeymoon.  My wife was still a teen-ager and I was pretty young and naive myself.  We were pro-choice, but when my mother-in-law suggested an abortion, neither of us took the idea seriously.  We didn't think of it as murdering a baby, more a matter of feeling that since we were married and I had a decent job, we should have the baby.  In retrospect, I'd say that my mother-in-law probably knew what would have been best for her daughter, since we split just a few years later -- probably in part because of the stress of having our family too soon.[/quote]
