color:#1F497D'>Scott, I’m not sure the analogy holds though. In the case
of guns, I might more rightfully restrict someone else’s rights because
the guns owned by them have the potential to kill ME. However, in the
case of abortion, I don’t have quite the same bargaining position,
because it is difficult for someone to abort ME now that I am born. (Indeed,
I’ve been an adult for eons it seems.)<o:p></o:p></span></p>

constitutionality of laws . . .until they <i>aren't</i> for constitutionality

are those trying to restrict 2nd Amendment constitutional rights of gun ownership
on the grounds that guns can be used as tools to kill people and compare them
to those trying to restrict 14 Amendment constitutional rights of abortion on
grounds that it kills people. It's the identical mode of operation where folks
feign to give up rights that they never plan to exercise in order to take away
those same rights from others.<br>
