The post actually implies that his liberal friends are anti-gun, as liberals are pro-choice and pro LGBT typically, and the liberal friends are clearly in disagreement with "me".
The two have nothing to do with each other. Most people who are anti-abortion believe that the unborn child is a person with a right to live. Not necessarily that there should be more children in the world, or than sex should happen for the purpose of having children. Many people believe abortion is wrong, but preventing unwanted pregnancies is responsible and should be done.
Also, the above person is pro-choice, which is the opposite of anti-abortion. People who are pro-choice believe that a woman should have the right to terminate a pregnancy when she does not want the child or would suffer health risks for carrying the child to term.
People who are pro-LGBT believe that people should be allowed to choose their gender and sexual/romantic partners without discrimination. Most pro-LGBT individuals support same sex marriage. All peo-LGBT individuals support that LGBT individuals should be allowed to function in society without faving discrimination (ei.Can get a job, no hate crimes)
A lot of good points, well made
I should point out that a lot of people who are pro-life (anti-abortion) also believe that abortion should be an option if the mother will suffer health risks for carrying the child to term
Well I was responding to this section of @thekaylapup 's comment
"the above person is pro-choice, which is the opposite of anti-abortion. People who are pro-choice believe that a woman should have the right to terminate a pregnancy when she does not want the child or would suffer health risks for carrying the child to term."
Thus, using this argument, someone who is anti-abortion would believe that women should not have the right to an abortion if the mother's health is at risk
Which is not necessarily the case
I did not mean to imply that, but I see looking back how it would. The fact is, there aren't just two stances on abortion. We often boil the agrugement down to just two stances, but there are many who believe things like "A woman should be able to terminate the pregnancy only if her life is threatened by the pregnancy " or "A woman should have the choice to terminate the pregnancy only in the first six weeks". A majority of people are not extremists. An extreme anti-abortion viewpoint would be "Abortion should never be performed under any circumstances, including circumstances where both mother and child are not going to survive the pregnancy." An extreme pro-choice viewpoint would be "A woman should have the right to terminate a pregnancy for any reason, including gender of child, at any point during pregnancy, including during the labor process."
People who believe "Most abortions should not be allowed" tend to be anti-abortion. People who believe...
"A mother should have the right to terminate the pregnancy at her discretion for a majority of the pregnancy" tend to be pro-choice.
Anything that falls in between on the spectrum results in discrepancy on which viewpoint they identify with. The fact is, there are more than two viewpoints and its difficult to shove everyone's views into these boxes.
Unfortunately because we have created a system of politics where only two parties will ever have a chance at most offices, we have an overwhelming pressure to conform our opinions to that of said parties.
Edit: My bad, mistook a word there. Thanks for the correction @thekaylapup
