There.
Relgion? Check.
Abortion? Check.
Gun Control? Check.
Boom! Trifecta Bumper Sticker.
Shall we go for Superfecta and add Godwin's Law?

I believe the State of Texas would then carry out the sentence of abortion on the fetus. The fetus obviously doesn't have the mental competencies to understand it all, but that's never stopped a Texas execution before.
I'm a Republican that grew up in Louisiana and lived in Texas for the last 15 years, so let me chime in.
My Pro-Gun sides says that all fetuses should be allowed the right to a gun.
My Anti-Crime side says that all criminal fetuses convicted of murder should be killed.
My Fiscal Conservatism tells me that profiling fetuses that have convicted crimes is a waste of tax payer money.
My religious upbringing tells me that this is what happens when you have out of wedlock pregnancies. No couple should be allowed to couple before wedlock.
My small government side says that welfare has led to the entitlement of babies, making them more prone to rash actions before birth, like murder.
My Louisiana education tells me that you can become pregnant from kissing, so if kissing abstinence was taught in schools, we would have fewer babies that would become criminals.
Finally, my adopted Texan side says that our recently repealed "needed killing" laws were adequate. Perhaps some of these fetuses went after people that "needed killing".
I'm going to take a nap now. Too much conflict for one day!

The defendant need not be aware of the deceased's violent character if the evidence is offered to prove that the deceased was, in fact, the aggressor
So the victim of homicide/manslaughter is a bad, violent person. But the killer is unaware of this fact. But the information can be used after the fact as part of a justifiable homicide defense?
I'm pretty sure that's literally the definition of "shoot first and ask questions later".

Honestly? This doesn't even seem all that outlandish for some states.

Seriously. Let's just stop for a second. That's fething crazy.
No. The American political landscape isn't about stopping for a second. It's about immediate, knee-jerk polarized responses. The appropriate response would be to outlaw babies.
The trouble with that, is then only criminals will have babies.
And then they'll just be Australia.

State politics.
If you have a spectrum with Presidential politics at one end and local elections at another, what you find is that responsiveness to popular desire increases as you move towards local elections because, ultimately, you only need to appeal to the people who have the power to elect you. When that group is relatively small you gain the ability to annoy the national electorate by doing things that are deliberately outlandish (trolling), and you will bolster your own electoral bid as a result.
A great example of this is Sheriff Joe Arpaio.
Life does not cease to be funny when people die any more than it ceases to be serious when people laugh.

D'you know what? I was reading a book last night in which it was demonstrated that abortion was good for the US crime rate. Seriously. Think about it - children born into poor and unstable families are massively more likely to eventually become criminals, therefore if you make abortion legal, safe and widely available at a relatively low cost (or free) the number of abortions go up, and as abortions are disproportionately obtained by the young and poor, less potential criminals are born, which means that the crime rate eventually begins to decline. Since Roe vs. Wade, that's what's happened in the US.
Interesting, and a bit of a mind-bender for Republicans. Wanna be really tough on crime? Be soft on abortion.

I'd just like to ask , how does a baby aim from inside a womb ? Do we have to limit babies to smaller magazine sizes so they can fit them in? "Oh is that your baby kicking? No he's just reloading his 30 round clip"

Limiting the magazine size accessible to fetuses is clearly an infringement on their constitutional rights; otherwise, how will they fight the agents of Satan when the Antichrist ushers in Armageddon and/or the guvmint when (insert president here) sends the ATF to take their guns away?

If a baby tries to shoot an abortion doctor chances are they will kill their mother committing murder as well as suicide, I'm so confused by the whole idea, but i'm sure jesus supports it.
Is they guy that made the initial statement a member of greensboro church?

Apparently I have the recall ability of a alcohol syndrome goldfish.
hahaha no.
The First Church of Attention Whores is almost exclusively comprised of a single -though quite large- family. One of them being elected to any level of government would honestly be a stretch, even in places like Florida or Alabama, who have knowingly elected the dead in the past.
