One way or another, even if it was done by a pro-abort, WE are going to be blamed for it.
####
So what’s new? WE have been blamed for everything ever since I was old enough to say the words “media bias.”
There is the second one who read what I read. Everyone nuts but you?
The shooting of George Tiller may have been cowardly but one day of killing an abortionist hardly equates to the cowardliness and evil of making A LIFELONG PROFESSION out of killing the unborn.
It’s not a matter of FEELING pure and smug. Nice try—the old “you’re just a purist, I’m a down and dirty pragmatist.”
Look, I am arguing that both in terms of principle and pragmatism it was stupid to kill Tiller, if indeed it was done by someone opposed to his abortion business.
The Hutchinson case has nothing to do with this one—it’s a useless analogy—unless my opposition to killing Tiller was merely a matter of prissy purism.
But it’s not. It’s a matter of hard-headed realism about the struggle we are in. And hard-headed realism says killing Tiller was a stoooooooooppppppiiiiiiddddd for a prolifer to do.
Perhaps it wasn’t done by a prolifer. But even then it will be blamed on us. We lose no matter what. And drawing that conclusion is utterly realistic.
"We have some experience with late terminations; about 10,000 patients between 24 and 36 weeks and something like 800 fetal anomalies between 26 and 36 weeks in the past 5 years." - abortionist George Tiller, declaring his pro-choice credentials in a speech to the National Abortion Federation, April 2-4, 1995, New Orleans, LA.
May God have mercy upon us all.
Alright already what's your dang hurry, your post is not the only post on here to be gleaned? Everyone has a different calling, however I surmise it's not an easy thing to give up your life for a cause you believe in, most of us other than those in the military have not had to confront that.
Let's just say for the sake of brevity that during the Civil War there were 2 opposing sides willing to fight and die for what they believed in. These days with a situation that's much worse I'm afraid only one side is willing to fight and die for what they believe in, and suffice to say, it's not ours.
OK I havent seen that.
But why? Looking at your posting history, I see that you rarely - if ever - explain your charges. With such a vicious charge, I would at least expect some explanation. Thanks in advance.
If you are prolife you are going to be railroaded regardless of what freepers say about the death of tiller the killer. So just be honest and true to yourself and don’t worry about the pro death commentary. You know exactly what they will try to do.
The infamous and unrepentent Tiller the Killer would be real unwelcome in my church building because our congregation does not tolerate unrepentant killers.
No problem. Some on this site worry that the Republican party is drifting to the left - I do share that sentiment. I, more importantly, worry that the Church is drifting away from being a moral authority and that is derived from ignoring the Scriptures.
Well, I would classify “exposing their illegal methods to the light” as presenting a pro-life argument. Im not so sure about buying up buildings though. Im sure that would put a temporary crimp in their operations, but wouldnt they just move to another building?
Agreed. Even though I believe third trimester abortion (this guy’s specialty) is murder, we can neither condone nor celebrate his murder.
To now, we have lived in a Republic which is a government by the rule of laws. If those are the laws, it is our job to change them, not engage in vigilante justice.
Two out of how many?
LOL!
Right. The media and the prodeath mob will say it but that does not make it true. And the public does not believe everything they hear from hysterical liberals.
“However, even if the shooter turns out to be a person with a history in a major prolife organization (doubtful)”
Doubtful, indeed! A true pro-life person does NOT go around murdering people...nobody should jump to any conclusions regarding the motives of the shooter when he hasn’t even been arrested!
“The Left has, through out history, killed, kidnapped, bombed and shot innocents who were only vaguely connected to the “White Establishment” or the “Military Industrial Complex” etc.”
IIRC all US Presidential assassins (and attempted assassins), with the possible exception of John Wilkes Booth, have been either Communists or anarchists.
Well said Laz
This is not the way prolife people should act
The only cowards, IMO, per se....the mothers who choose to abort their fetus. Those are the cowards.
I had asked the question primarily because I don’t think it’s cowardly to take another person’s life. It would seem to me just the opposite. Facing the consequences, the shame...seems very courageous to me.
This shooter has given up his life too, for all intents.
I don’t condone the shooter of the doctor. I just understand how it could happen in today’s climate.
