Even 0bamba didn’t claim there was any common ground on abortion. Instead, he used his appearance to play the old Marxist “liberation theology” game, trying to make Christians his allies by harping on “poverty,” “social justice,” and other concerns of religious liberals like Notre Dame President Father Jenkins.

The good news and confort is that 51-52 percent of the population is now pro-life, which came out a week or two ago.

We are finding common ground: murder.

What are they talking about? Obama's position is if George Tiller had survived an abortion than it would be okay to kill him.

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

Gee....Right after that idiot released that crap, four black Muslim ex convicts tried to blow up a NYC synagogue and planed an attempt to shoot down a plane. Were we warned that black Muslim ex convicts were a threat to our National Security?
What's it going to take to get a new head for the DHS?

Or it takes a crazy person to commit murder.

Sadly, we wish it was limited to that.

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

That’s exactly what happened the last time. Makes me wonder if we’ve been set up...

Never bring a knife to a gun fight. People die for their beliefs and have so since day one. No government law will ever stop it.

May this incident act as a deterrent to others who would do as Tiller did; may they have second thoughts, lest they be next.

Yes, but I assume it was because of his abortionism.

Your “father of an aborted baby” possibility could very well be the case, as fathers are not afforded any rights or voices prior to the baby’s birth.

Regardless of who did it or why, I’m glad this evil man is dead.

"Woe to those who call good, evil and evil, good" [Enter Janet Napolitano]

A particularly painful truth about God's judgment is the way He decides the timing...Although, I must say, I am certainly glad that He also shows mercy to the repentant.

His long-suffering can be troubling to those who want to see the wicked punished, but it can also be very assuring to those who have received His mercy after living a life of rebellion toward Him.

Read the words carefully. It is Orwellian.

What's even worse are the "Readers' Comments." It's going to be an ugly smear campaign against republicans, conservatives, and pro-lifers, and it the blame will be trumpeted from Obama on down to the smallest "hometown" newspaper, all over the country. Prepare for a vilification like we haven't seen.

Just remember, abortion is the "slavery issue" of modern times. Just like with slavery, you can't be a little bit for it, or a little bit against it, and no "Missouri Compromise" is going to be possible.
