Sad how they say they are protecting unborn children but won't pass laws stop the murder of children in schools becuase everyone needs a gun.

Again, 2019 alone saw 625,000+ legal abortions. If even 10% of those abortions could have gone on to live meaningful happy lives, that is over 64,000 lives lost due to lifestyle choices. The other 90% include rape/incest/risk to the woman's live due to age or other risk factors along with some that are very likely lifestyle choice alone but for the sake of making a point I am reducing the number to a bare minimum that could definitely be counted as a lifestyle choice alone
Lives lost in 2019 due to gun violence of any type? 39,707 gun deaths

In the District of Columbia and 47 states that reported data to the CDC in 2019, the majority of women who had abortions (57%) were in their 20s, while about three-in-ten (31%) were in their 30s. Teens ages 13 to 19 accounted for 9% of those who had abortions, while women in their 40s accounted for 4%. {sidenote by me: 88% were women between 20 and 39, teens and women over 40 both have obvious and apparent risk to life during pregnancy}{second sidenote: I looked up rape statistics, and admit I am aghast by the number - 2019 rapes as reported by the department of Justice - 459,310. Given that rape is known to be highly under reported, this number and rape prevention deserve far more attention than either abortion or gun control in my point of lives lost/affected}

If you want to talk about childrens lives lost, the argument of gun control vs limiting access to abortion is a no-brainer. Abortion destroys more lives by far than gun violence. If you want to argue that abortion impacts a woman's body only, so it is her "rights" that are being violated, you at least can make that argument. I think the rights of the unborn should be at least equal to a couple that chooses purely for convenience to abort that unborn child.
