The left wants to outlaw guns that very seldom kill anyone while they want to make damn good and sure they can keep on killing millions of babies.

Sure they sound logical.

My guns are covered by the second amendment very specifically.

Exactly where are abortions specifically covered by the constitution?

Some liberals on SCOTUS thought you should be able to kill babies therefore it became law.

Abortion is not a right covered by the constitution.

So, those of you on the left who really want to screw good upstanding citizens out of our 2A rights can not really expect us to give one damn about the man made non constitutional mandated laws that cover abortion.

With this new judge on the court the abortions allowed by a group of men may or may not hold up. I don't care if abortions stay legal or not.

With this new judge on the court the new SCOTUS is going to ram our gun rights down the throat of the liberals and I will cheer when they do.

Liberals want everything their way no matter what the constitution says.

It is not going to happen this time.

And I'm sure that unborn children don't care about your gun rights. FWIW, I don't trust this appointment as far as I can spit.

They're not, at least not in the way that the left would have you believe. Even Justice Blackmun, who wrote the travesty known as Roe v. Wade, said he found it in the "penumbras and emanations" of the Constitution.

Those "penumbras and emanations" are a combination of the Ninth Amendment's guarantee that rights not specifically enumerated are retained by the people, and the Fourth Amendment's implicit"right to privacy," derived from the guarantee of a right "to be secure in [our] persons, papers, houses, and effects." This is why Kavanaugh's argument that abortion is not an enumerated right is not the best way to go at it.

But abortion was illegal when these amendments were adopted, and even pro-aborts like Justice Ginsburg have said that Roe was badly decided. (She thinks there are other ways to get there.)

One can argue, in fact, that the Constitution -- not its penumbras and emanations, but the Constitution itself -- prohibits abortion. The Fourteenth Amendment says that all persons are entitled to "the equal protection of the laws" and both the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments establish that nobody "shall be deprived of life, liberty, or property without due process of law."

In any case, Roe is an abomination.
