Re: Guns > abortion clinics

It's almost comical to think how different the opinions of men who don't support the right to choose would be if, suddenly, we were the ones had to carry fetuses..

I think Ruth-Bader Ginsberg has made a similar point in her opposition to restrictions on abortion (more correctly, I believe she argued that denial of abortion produced on undue burden on the 'life course' of women; certainly a much more complicated view than I've presented here, though).
However, abortion is undeniably a killing (and I would also argue, it's NOT murder, either). Regardless, I'm of the mind that abortion should be illegal; yet I have no firm beliefs as to how illegal abortion should be, nor what the punishment for those who seek and provides abortions ought to be; but abortion, as I see it, is unethical, even if the burden placed on women is unequal to that placed on men (that is, like you said - men do not carry children).
