    In other words, you're a hypocrite and you know your question was stupid from the get go.

    No it isn't. Because you haven't fleshed out a hypothetical where gun control will immeduatly save lives. There is no such thing. It's a false paradigm and isn't as black and white is my hypothetical.

    It's very simple. And stop ****ing deflecting.

    The Right wing believes a fetus's life is as precious as a living human's. Thus, if Planned Parenthood pulled out viable fetuses aka living humans that according the right wing rhetoric is just as precious as an infant's life (so substitute fetus with infant), cut it up and sold it's parts, why would deadly force to stop this not be morally reprehensible? Explain.

    You are right, but many in this country don't believe that.

    Because what "the Right wing" believes is not necessarily true.

    If I believe the governor is Satan, does that give me some moral justification to act against him?

    People believe a lot of ****.

    As I said before, your original question is stupid. Essentially, what you're trying to state is that if you believe the lack of a law is killing innocents, you MUST take action to save lives if you truly believe in it...even if it means breaking the law.

    So now I'll go directly to my point.

    Carly Fiorina has explicitly stated these views and is unapologetic of them and believe they have nothing to do with the PP shooter. At the same time she condemns the shooter.

    Is her rhetoric along with the right wing rhetoric in general about PP responsible for the multiple attacks on PP.

    BTW, Therethedagger, my hypothetical has nothing to do with what I would do. It's all about understanding why someone would attack an abortion clinic and how rhetoric from presidential candidates such as Carly Fiorina has direct deadly consequences.

    Sure. And the same with all the damn Muslim bashing on this board. Terror terror terror terror terror terror terror! One thing for sure: not everyone in "the home of the brave" is brave.

    It's a totally legit question. We all know of laws that aren't necessarily 'right' or moral.
    So if the law is allowing a clinic to literally take infants, kill them, rip them apart, and sell the parts, what does one do about this quandry? There's nothing stupid about this question.

    Except that many circumvent this quandary by claiming the "fetuses" are not "infants" or even "human." That allows them to make this scenario irrelevant in their mind.

    If an American believes abortion is murder, then:

    1) The abortion industry is far far far more deadly than ISIS, and people are misdirected in thirsting for Muslim blood.
    2) Pro-lifers who do not act to stop the murders are on the level of Germans who stood by while the Nazis murdered the Jews.
    3) Pro-lifers who do not act to stop the murders are morally inferior to people who do not think/know any murder is happening.

    This is comical.

    1) I have no fear of an abortionist coming after me.

    2-3) You're wacked out mentality would have those who recognize the horror of the reality vile while those who contribute to that horror are... off the hook?! Really now. Are you trying to incite a civil war?

    Dude, pls don't civil war on me. . . .

    Your fear has no relation to morality.

    You're confused: I'll give you an example.
    Let's say there are two people in the water. You say "OMG the one person is drowning the other person!" And I say, "No he's not: they're just playing." We both sit there and the person is drowned. Now, I was mistaken. But you watched someone get murdered, and you knew they were being murdered, and you didn't do jack ****. That's what pro-lifers do.

    If it were the mid-19th century with no local police forces, somebody would "have" to.

    My lack of fear explains my lack of bloodthirst for Muslims that you seem to want to impute on everyone.

    Do you really think that unless pro-Lifers going around killing those who would kill babies in utero they are, what, insincere? :eek:

    If I go to the Nazi comparison, I get told I automatically lose the argument, yet here you use it with impunity I'm guessing.

    Topsy-turvy world sometimes.

    I'm glad to hear this.

    No, I don't think you have to kill every abortionist. There are other options. Pro-lifers are moral cowards for merely complaining on the internet and watching the slaughter go on for forty years.

    Life's not fair.

    Well,

    Are millions of babies being killed: yes or no?

    I say no.

    If you say yes, babies are being murdered everyday in your hometown and all you have to do is google the address of the place where they are being murdered, and you haven't done jack **** besides post on the internet, you are morally reprehensible and a pathetic coward.
