Agreed Mark, people's beliefs are their own, and in this country abortion is legal, I have no issue with protesting or any other kind of peaceful demonstration. But murdering a doctor? Honestly? That is 100% terrorism...... The government should investigate that organization from top to bottom to see if they financed or supported this in any way shape or form. This is a country of laws.....and if you don't like the laws, vote someone in who will change it to your way...if you can't do that, then realize that your opinion is not shared by the majority and go about trying to change the majority...bur realize it may not happen and people have to live with that reality. DD
This is the part I don't get...if they believe it is murder, how can they condone another murder? Religion is such a mixed bag.....of morality. DD
It is cafeteria Christianity. You pick out the parts you want and leave the rest. I am guilty of desiring retribution when I am wronged. I have been in my share of fights when I was a younger man. This is part of who I am and it is something I have struggled with. The fact of the matter is that nothing in the Bible calls upon the faithful to blow a sinner's head off. To do so in the name of religion is not only odd...it is sacrilege.
What's really ****ed is that this piece of trash is going to be in the media spotlight for the next how many months spewing his filth? And they'll be cowards sitting back, not saying a word, and nodding the whole time.
If it is appropriate to refer to the great volume of takfari jihadists running around the ME as "Muslim Terrorists" then it is 100% appropriate to call this guy a "Christian Terrorists". They are to Islam as he is to Christianity.
Neither will get a tear from me. A murderer is now a "Christian Terrorist"? Using that reasoning, an African-American affirmative action supporter should now be called a "black racist socialist" As for unnecessary late term abortion, I'll quote Barbel Bohley. "We hoped for justice, but we got the rule of law"
um, if that makes you happy. Seriously, is this really a huge deal? Associate Christian and terrorist and you have a *****storm. Nobody's heard of the IRA before?
What's an Islamic Terrorist then? Using that reasoning, a guy who kills Christians in the name of Islam is just a murderer right? There are processes in place to fight what this doctor was doing. Killing him wasn't the correct course. Why doesn't the pro-life movement create an agency that specializes adoptions for unwanted pregnancies. Then they can approach the mother and offer (not force or threaten) options. You want to save life - that's the way to do it. You want to protest an law you see as unjust, maybe you should see how MLK did that. But this guy wasn't just a murderer - unless you feel that all terrorist acts are just murders. You have to be consistent.
Because it is what we called it a "Christian terrorist". Some are trying to rule out of fear. Scare the people and hope they fall in line. Others want to show empathy and tell about the great sin, while forgetting about the blood on their hands. I am not one to judge, only god can do that. So who are they to judge others. Education is the best tool I know, but some only want to teach want they think is the best chapter while leaving out all the others. Who can understand the whole story by reading only one chapter? Our kids? I think not.
The date of conception, even the amount of development can be noted with things like ultrasound even if the pregnancy is discovered after a missed menstration. Under a strict reading of this argument abortion prior to the formation of a circulation system wouldn't violate this Biblical principle and certainly something like RU-486 or plan B would be allowed since those only work in the very early stages of embryonic development. Taking on another hot button issue this argument regarding blood is the sign of life embryonic stem cells certainly don't qualify as life since you can only get them from the embryo stage, pre-cell differentiation so no blood has been formed.
To follow up on this point from what I understand late term abortions aren't easy or completely safe procedures for the woman. I haven't seen stats for this but I strongly doubt that the abortions that Dr. Tiller performed were merely matters of convenience and from the information I have so far seen these were agonizing decisions involving severe deformities where the chances of the fetus coming to term were questionable and even then a strong likelyhood of a short and very painful life. Also given that even in a healthy pregnancy there are health risk involved in childbirth its likely that trying to bring some of these fetuses to to term also were potential risk to the mother.

Not quite that simple. The US targetted not just military infrastructure but also economic and transportation infrastructure. The Tube qualifies as both. Also Shock and Awe is clearly meant to terrorize.
Totally agree. This guy represents Christianity as much as Al Qaeda represents Islam. Neither speaks for the majority or even a plurality.
there is also testimony of Tiller performing late term abortions so that the mother could go to a rock concert, compete in rodeo or attend the prom.
So that's great. So I don't get why pro-lifers need to get up all in arms (no pun intended) about abortion - just push these services as an alternative. Why make the death threats or intimidate people? Offer folks a choice - that seems to be more effective. If they spent the money promoting and building up these agencies - by spending all that money informing women that instead of getting an abortion there is an alternative way even if they don't want the child....spend that money on building awareness for these agencies. Seems like the logical route to me.
