>>True. I would have much preferred Tiller got felled by natural causes like a heart attack or an aneurysm<<
Or enlightenment from the Lord about his horrendous deeds. What a great spokesperson an EX abortion doctor would be!
I recall having this discussion, back in a college classroom, where the teacher was grossly exxagerating "violent" attacks upon abortion clinics (there had been NONE) until I corrected her.
It would be to defend that baby's life as it would be to defend the life of born person whose life might be similarily jeopardized, as I argued at the time.
However, as the situation in our country exists currently, with respect to abortion and it's legal status AND Liberal control of the media, it wouldn't be seen that way and will NEVER be seen that way until the Liberal stranglehold on our culture is broken.
Nor at this time could a pro-life politician, leader in the pro-life and/or conservative movment, or any pro-life person, publicly state it any differently than Sarah has. They would immediately be excoriated and touted as pro-violence by the pro-abortion media and popular and political culture as ridiculously hypocritical as doing so may be.
In short your point is well taken, but you can't say it.
I love that pic or RR toasting our Sarah. It’s awesome, just like our Sarah.
“Or enlightenment from the Lord about his horrendous deeds. What a great spokesperson an EX abortion doctor would be!”
My sentiments exactly. I pray for a change of heart like Dr. Bernard Nathanson, a former abortion doctor who became a staunch pro-life advocate.
Not sure I agree that the issue is so clear cut. A man steps out of a car and shoots at children on a playground. You are driving by. Do you swerve your car across traffic (law #1 broken), drive over top of the guy (law #2 broken) because you “think” he was shooting at the children (but didn’t see any of them fall, yet), then back up over top of him to make sure he doesn’t get up (illegal parking, law #3 broken)?
Where is the “due process” and the all that habeas corpus stuff? What would you do? This fellow saw a cold-blooded abortionist murdering children. The man paraded it in public. Real viable children. Are you so sure that you would not break laws under certain circumstances? It feels like I might under certain circumstances and I’m not sure this Kansas guy is so evil.
I see you answered your own question. I strongly agree with you.
The question isn’t “tough” at all. Why would you even be in a room during a sterile procedure? Are you part of the doctor’s team? The way to change the law is to change the law not break the law by murdering someone. We are not living in a totalitarian state ( yet) so use the methods that will be the most powerful over time. Hate the doctor or his actions all you want, he was in church and NOTHING he did in his medical practise was against the law. Endangering others to satisfy one’s own blood lust is at best inadvisable.
Right. I’ve been arguing that it’s very difficult to sanctimoniously admonish “rule of law,” when that very rule of law is made fiction by the judiciary, whose quota-queens (Sotomayer) are now admitting they make “policy.” Charles Manson grows old in prison collecting royalty checks and the girl-killer Teddy Kennedy sits in the senate while lawyers have the gall to tell us “we are a nation of laws.”
You expose your ignorance.
I don’t see you trying to invade abortion clinics. Why is that? If the call to defend innocent life is so absolute then it would seem to me that it is an obligatory action for you to undertake.
Great pic!
Cool pic!
The left can blame anybody they like. When the last incident of violence against an abortionist or a clinic occurred, we all said that this was going to set back the pro-life movement. Well, the latest polling shows that the majority of Americans are now against abortion.
What is the culpability of all those people who attended his church, sat next to him in Bible Study, shook hands with him at the close of Sunday services and broke bread with him at a church pot luck supper?
They must have known what he did for a living and yet they welcomed him into their assembly. He was an usher. He was obviously a well respected member of their community.
Answer: Our moral responsibility in this scenario and every other scenario would be to obey God's law, which trumps everything else. In this particular scenario you describe it would be to lay down your life for another.
The “church” was apostate, basically a “church of the world”, and not a house of worship of God.
Their beliefs and issue positions are the OPPOSITE of those stated in God’s Word.
You don't see me on the streets of every city of America every day either where inncocent life is taken on a daily basis. But how would you see me if I were there unless you were already on patrol?
No I don’t I have followed this case closely. It has been mischaraterized and misused in all too many ways. Fact is still that this doctor was IN CHURCH not in the abortion clinic. If the argument the prolife people want to make is that ALL life is God given and precious, then treat it as such....yes even the ones you don’t like or love. Now, I for one, don’t make that argument.
