By this logic

Here goes. According to some Christians, hormone contraceptives should be considered on par with abortion because they can prevent a fertilized egg from implanting in the uterine wall. Just to make sure no one misses the connection, they call them "abortifacients."

(Note: If you side with them that pregnancy begins at conception, raise your hand. If you side with the medical community that pregnancy begins at implantation, now raise your hand. I see we have work to do.)

Ok. Now we have had way too many random acts of gun violence in every corner of the country. Many of the Christians that obsess over the well-being of fertilized eggs are quick to give theology lessons to anyone that dares speak a disparaging word about guns. Evil resides in the person, not the weapon. Fair enough.

So using hormone treatments is intrinsically evil because it risks the life of a fertilized egg. Those treatments should be banned for everyone or at least prohibited for women of faith. Guns in the hands of criminals or mentally disordered people routinely kill innocent strangers or loved ones. Like those shoppers out in Oregon, those movie-goers in Colorado, the wife of that football player, or thousands of other tragic stories. These victims are worth every bit as much as those fertilized eggs. Right? But no discussion is allowed about placing any limits on guns? It just seems to me that guns are abortifacients. They often cause the instantaneous abortion of a fully developed human beings.

If it is acceptable to ban hormonal contraceptives, it should be equally acceptable to ban or regulate guns. If contraceptives are abortifacients, then guns are abortifacients as well. It is just good old fashioned truth in labeling. Fair is fair.
