I don't understand protecting a fetus but refusing to protect a child.

At what moment does that fetus become a child worth protection, in your eyes?
Replying to @marwilliamson
History shows many different threats to children. Governments have killed more people (including children) than any other factor in human history. Government genocide happened Europe, Asia, Africa, South America, but not North America. Why? Armed citizens bring balance

Well aren't they the same thing?

Giving up your guns to the cops that let a shooter run rampant for an hour is not “protecting children.”
Replying to @marwilliamson
Because it doesn't make sense. Like God or religion.
Replying to @marwilliamson
Because it's really about conservative Christians imposing a traditional society on the rest of us like it or not.

For yrs I asked US reporters to write some type of analysis of where a super-majority of Roman Catholics on the US Supreme Court will take us as a country ... in response, none wrote a word on that subject. Silence. The US Supreme Court has now been hijacked by religion.

It's the difference between fighting for an idea, rather than the thing itself. The thing itself is tricky, has baggage, considerations, histories; but a pure idea of a fertilized egg needing protection? Unadulterated idea! Defend it! But don't follow to its logical conclusion
