Common ground? Compromise? What does that mean? That kind of talk always reminds me of the Judgment of Solomon. Just cut the baby in half, and split the difference.

Some solution. By their responses to that suggestion, the two women, as Solomon intended, revealed clearly where they stood on this basic moral issue.

Should’ve said “prominent activist and abortionist”, but then, Benji’s a lefty.

The murder may also be a reminder that a crazy person couldn’t accept anothers beliefs.

A more relevant point in all of this than most people will give credit for.

Even a crazy person can't accept those values.

OK FOLKS...it is now time to come together on the “right”. As much as I do not like it when someone is killed, Tillers death is not what I am addressing here. The left will use this against the right (we are bad, terrorist, extremist, etc.). Our job is not to play defense, it is to NOT ALLOW them to box us in to begin with. You know they will try to lump us all together with the shooter. Be vigilant. Do not allow them to categorize us as one in the same!!! You now know how the game will be played, stand firm.

It only takes one of us to go whacko and damage our cause. This incident could set back the pro life movement for years.

Then you'd better not do anything conservative ever, because, there will always be a whacko and if there isn't a whacko, the media will find one.

Technically, it was murder.

I consider it, justified execution.

“prominent doctor and abortion rights activist”

Yep, that sure is odd wording, in fact it is twisted wording.

Prominent executioner and abortion rights activist would be more like it.

OK folks, here we go!

The DHS “domestic terrorists” memo said that “Pro-Lifers” were on the list, and here’s proof!

Another one of Rahm’s “crises” that should not go to waste! And although the infamous “memo” was pulled, the seeds of doubt & mistrust were planted in the minds of many sheeple. Get ready for a media blitz against the pro-life cause, regardless of Operation Rescue’s responsible Press Release.

Vigilance, warriors! The persecution continues, but don’t give up. There are many who will stand & do exploits because they know their God. This is OUR time!!

Plus also study up on the period of the years leading up to the Civil War, the Underground Railroad, the fight to end slavery. Where I am from, CT, I have been to Farmington,CT, where some of the old homes on old Main Street were around the time when the Underground Railroad was in progress. We are starting to see history begin to repeat itself. There was even violence erupting over the efforts to end slavery.

How many years have babies been legally slaughtered on street corners across America? Try over 36 years at the rate of one every 20 seconds. Is that enough time and dismembered children for you?

Set back? So what! As least Tiller won't be killing children tomorrow. And if this act strikes fear in the hearts of other baby-killers, it's a wonderful thing.

This guy was the same as the Nazis in my book.

I'm not sad -- this monster had plenty of time to repent.

Barry will probably order all flags lowered to half-staff and give him a state funeral.

Well, it certainly wasn't one of his victims!
