"If babies had guns they wouldn't be aborted" (not The Onion)

http://trailblazersblog.dallasnews.com/2013/04/texas-rep-steve-stockmans-campaign-slogan-turns-heads.html/



WASHINGTON – Rep. Steve Stockman’s re-election campaign slogan is raising eyebrows in Washington and beyond.

The Friendswood Republican tweeted his new slogan early this morning: “If babies had guns, they wouldn’t be aborted.” As of Friday afternoon, the tweet had been passed on more than 290 times.

Supporters of Stockman can also get a bumper sticker with the slogan in exchange for a $10 donation.

Despite his freshman status, the lawmaker is already well-known for his pro-gun, anti-abortion stance. In February, he brought rocker and guns-rights advocate Ted Nugent to the president’s State of the Union address.

5. If their fathers had locked up their "guns" there'd be no need for abortion either.

Seriously though, the stupidity of that slogan is monumental.
