Seriously. For all the "pro-life" talk that's been going on lately with the whole Planned Parenthood thing, it's amazing how little we seem to be willing to do for children after they're born, especially when it comes to circumstances like this.

I watched Obama's speech this morning on the news. I could tell how sad he was. No leader should have to give essentially the same speech 15 times to grieving relatives, over something so preventable.

I have yet to see it, but someone shared a link, so I'll watch it shortly.

My mom said he looked pissed. Certainly don't blame him.

That was some impressive leap you made to go from gun control to abortion rights. Wow.

Yeah but it's the same people talking about the ~sanctity of life.

There is definitely some irony in the rhetoric, though, when you have such a huge overlap between the pro-life people, and the people against gun-control laws.

Not really. We talk all the time about how "pro-life" we are, and obviously I don't think most people who like guns were HAPPY about Sandy Hook or Columbine or things like that happening.

But considering the whole "Think of the children!" mantra we hear anytime children are exposed to anything that might warp their impressionable young minds, considering we go on and on about how life is sacred and we value the lives of children, even before they're born, and so on, you have to admit that it does seem a bit odd, then, how numerous children being massacred in school shootings or shootings in other public places, or in their own homes, doesn't seem to be enough to make us say, "You know, maybe we should do more to change our laws about guns and the ability for people to get a hold of them."

All I'm saying is that if we supposedly care about the lives of children, like we claim we do when it comes to any other "Think of the children!" issue-abortion, what they see and hear on TV, what they learn in school, etc.-then we should prove it by doing something about the effect our gun culture and gun laws have on their lives, too.

Don't forget, though, that a substantial minority of people who like guns claim--at least in the case of Sandy Hook--that it never happened, and another subset of them think that if only someone like themselves with a concealed-carry permit had been on hand, they would have taken down the shooter before he'd had a chance to get off a second shot. In their way of thinking, the answer to guns is MORE guns in the hands of right-thinking people like them.

The US is very militaristic. They want more children to be born so that when these children reach adulthood, they can be sent into the next big war. The religious pro-life shit is just a cover that many idiots with no government connections buy into.
