For and Against

“Are you for gun control?”
“Absolutely.”
“I am against gun control. Let the guns free, I say. Every adult who can prove no criminal record, no psychological problems, no genetic link to violence, and a practical need for weapons that cannot be satisfied in any other way should be able to buy a gun.”
“Sorry, I tuned out there. I cannot be bothered to listen to what you gun lovers say. Anyhow, gun sales is a serious business, and it should clearly be regulated. It should not be permitted to sell guns on Christmas day. Not before noon anyhow.”

“Are you against abortions?”
“Absolutely.”
“I am for abortions. In situations where one makes a medical choice between the life of a mother and a very young embryo, I think the mother should have the right to terminate the pregnancy to save her own life.”
“Sorry, I tuned out there. I cannot be bothered to listen to what you abortion enthusiasts say. Anyhow, I’m against abortions, and I think they should only be allowed when at least one parent or a doctor recommends it, and only when the embryo is younger than, well, a few months or so.”
