Not sure if its okay, but I’d like to provide a quote from your other thread about abortion providers being closed [http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=825274](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=825274)

I’m not the deepest thinker, but it seems to me you are somewhat inconsistent in the importance of guaranteeing rights.

If Kentucky shuts down abortion providers, rights are denied. If a Judge says your nuts, takes your gun, well, that’s okay.

In only one of these cases is someone definitely going to do some killin’.
