GOPer Blames Abortions For Mass Shootings

Rep. Billy Long (R.-Mo.) was asked during an interview with Missouri radio station The Eagle 93.9 on Wednesday whether there was any appetite among Republicans in Congress to pursue changes to gun laws. It came in the wake of a gunman’s massacre of 19 children and two teachers in Uvalde, Texas.

Long, who is running for the U.S. Senate, said guns aren’t the issue. He criticized proponents of gun control for “trying to blame an inanimate object for all of these tragedies.”

He said there are a few solutions but that the problem can be traced back to when abortion became legal nationwide.
“When I was growing up in Springfield, you had one or two murders a year,” he said. “Now we have two, three, four a week in Springfield, Missouri.

“So something has happened to our society. I go back to abortion, when we decided it was OK to murder kids in their mothers’ wombs. Life has no value to a lot of these folks.”

And, to Mr. Long, facts have no value in an election cycle.

There's actually evidence that the opposite is true, that fewer unplanned pregnancies leading to fewer unwanted births leads to fewer unwanted children who are at higher risk of committing crimes.

But par for the course, they value the unborn and don't give a flying fuck about those that are actually born.

When the US bans abortion, God will bless our nation with healing, prosperity and victory over our enemies.  Protecting the unborn is only the means to an end.

[Angrboda]

It occurs to me that the same people who have adopted a solution to their temporal suffering which is, a) cost-free, and b) requires no actual effort, in the form of vicarious redemption are also those who in the largest numbers have adopted a position on the existence of unwanted pregnancies which is also, a) of no cost to themselves, and b) requires no effort on their part. When you start talking about aspects of the problem which cost money or require actual effort, their "pro-life" stance is revealed for the vapid virtue-signaling that it actually is.

It’s not even true in his home state. Murders as a percentage of population in Missouri have actually declined since Roe v Wade.

This seems like something a representative of the people should know.

He's a Republican, and his lips are moving. Anytime there is truth emitted, it's just an accident.

[Anomalocaris]

yeah but he is very sorry and promises that no unfalsehood will ever pass his lips again.

Oh, well, then. I'm a believer.

I saw this over at Freethought Blogs, but can't be bothered to save the meme. It's a pic of Tucker Carlson, with the caption, "Sure we hate him, but he's killed more NAZIs than anyone else in the last 70 years!"

They don't care. They've got an agenda to attend to, fuck what helps improve the lives of people they deem beneath them.
