The instances in which the abortion has killed a human being is very low. The woman tends to be fine afterward.

The death rate from fire arm ownership is much lower than that.
More or less true.

A lot of men would go nuts.

I just don't see how and or why a group of old men get to dictate what millions of women get to do with their bodies. It confounds me.

Well a lot of anti-Second Amendment folks seem very interested in dictating what I can store in my closet, in the privacy of my home.

Do you also resent the requirement to register, license, and insure your car? Just wondering....

No. Women should be able to get abortions for whatever reason they see fit even if it upsets you and makes you sad. No compromises, because normal people should not have to compromise anything for the sake of right wingers. It's okay if abortion upsets you, I'm pretty sure the women you're talking about don't know you or care about your feelings or give a tinker's dam about exceptions you believe in.

Abortion is a medical procedure that poses no threat to anyone other than woman undergoing the procedure. There is no need for anyone else to know about it. Guns are lethal weapons that can be used to cause great harm to unlimited others. There is a necessary need to know to whom guns are being sold.
I believe it has the effect of denying the right of the fetus to have a chance to live

That's just dumb. What you do in the privacy of your own home is none of my business. Same token, what a woman does with her body is her own business and no one else's.

Odd, I don't remember a Constitutional right to have a car.

I'm not required to insure my car, either.

Well maybe you could talk to BO about that. He seems to think others have a right to know what's in a gun safe that sits in my house, which we both agree shouldn't be any of his business.
