What didn't fit?

"It didn't fit."

There have been over 57 million legally induced abortions in the US. The usual argument against denying rape victims or victims of incest the availablitity of a legal abortion, which gets regurgitated when the issue is debated, are not even statistically significant in this. The reality is, people want to have a personal choice not infringed upon by the government (regardless of the opinions of those not involved personally in that choice).

There are also significant statistics showing justified homicides are the result of a gun owner protecting themselves or others and countless accounts of gun owners stopping a crime which could have turned violent but didn't because of the presence of a gun owner. Still it is a personal choice, and one which has foundational merit and far reaching implication to the success of America, which are guaranteed against government infringement.

ehh? ... "Fine, but society has the right to say we need to control guns"
===================================

<<If you don't believe in abortions, don't get one.>>

Fine, but allow others to get one. The pro life people don't allow them to get one!

<<If you don't believe in gay marriage, don't marry someone of the same gender.>>

Fine, but let others get married!

<<If you don't believe in gun ownership, don't get one.>>

Fine, but society has the right to say we need to control guns e.g. background checks.
================================

Ehhh... why does your logic change in the last example? Society wants to control number of bullets, size of gun, number of guns, open carry, where to carry...etc
