“Eight people killed today in a mass shooting in Washington…wait, breaking news, another shooting has claimed twelve lives in Louisiana.”
She stared blankly at the television in front of her, even CNN couldn’t keep up with all the shootings with their 24 hour news cycle. One after another after another, it was a world truly gone mad.
“We must protect our Second Amendment rights!” Said another talking head that appeared on the broadcast, “It’s too soon to speak about gun control, we have to wait until the crisis has passed!”
It would always be too soon if there were no breaks in between the shootings.
“This just in, another shooting, this time fifteen in Florida.”
They wouldn’t stop.
“Oh God…five kindergartners are being held hostage in California.”
It would never stop.
“In other news, yet another state has put in strict rules on abortion clinics, removing the last ones in the state…this time in…”
Of course, save the guns and embryos, everyone else be damned.
“I can’t believe those liberals want to make baby killing an acceptable option!”
It’s not that hard to believe, who would want to raise a kid in this environment? The right just believes in post-term abortion, give or take a handful of years.
“When will this attack on our freedoms end?”
“Never,” she said, as she put the Glock to her pregnant stomach, “It will never stop.”
The trigger pulled, she wondered as she felt her life slipping away onto the floor if this would be taken as a pro-choice or pro-gun argument.
