And, of course, there is no inconsistency between my opposition to abortion and my opposition to gun control. Put simply, I am committed to the protection of innocent life. I want the fetus to be protected from the abortionist who seeks to take an innocent life. I also want adults to be protected from the murderer who seeks to take an innocent life.
Professor Adams often writes about the trials and tribulations of being a conservative working at an institution populated almost entirely by liberals. To be honest, I'm surprised the administration at his college hasn't canned him yet, though it's possible that his voice is loud enough that they know they wouldn't be able to get away with it. As is often the case with his articles, the real focus is the students:
Of course, critics of my response to Rita will argue that a fetus is not a person in order to rebut my assertion that "the abortionist...seeks to take an innocent life." But the real issue, the one that my critics will not touch, regards the status of the college student.
Whenever neo-libs seek to distribute condoms on campus, to show porn movies, to encourage sodomy, or to encourage "reproductive choice," they assert that college students are adults. But when it comes to gun ownership, they portray college students as children. And these children must be kept away from firearms, just as they must be shielded from any speech that might make them feel uncomfortable or wound their inner child.
The neo-libs claim a right to abortion they cannot identify in the constitution. But NRA members claim a right to bear arms, which is spelled out clearly below the 1st Amendment. It is no accident that the neo-libs seek to suppress knowledge of one amendment through the destruction of another.
Regardless of your stance on abortion, the fact remains that the Constitution specifically enumerates the right to arms whereas the right to an abortion was inferred by the Supreme Court. The latter is arguable, the former is absolute.
