by these groups are the least effective ones possible.  They're basically the equivalent of pro-life groups that demand abstinence-only sex education (if any), oppose affordable access to contraception, oppose affordable prenatal care, and can't understand why the states that obey them the most have the worst problem with unwanted pregnancies and abortion.
Then again, I may be being a bit too generous -- if the "crisis pregnancy centers" are any indication, these folks WANT more unwanted pregnancies, so long as they can force mothers to carry them to term. Their goal is more babies, by hook or by crook, whether they live in luxury or squalor. I wonder if it's a race war thing.

        I seriously doubt that gangbangers et al would be treated as an exception

        The guns that they are fighting hardest to ban are involved in less than 300 murders/yr.
