This, I guess would make more sense if the shooting happened at an abortion clinic. It would also make more sense if it happened more than once, in fact I don’t even recall the last Abortionist who was killed this year or many years ago. The latest might’ve been that guy who killed that Abortionist(might’ve been a priest or something) some years ago. All this is, just like the Swine flu dollars, is mishandling of our government to direct to a hyperbolic situation. And they call us “fearmongers”

The linked article names the other abortionist related killings. Below is that excerpt.

If Tiller’s killing stemmed from his work, he would be the fourth U.S. physician killed over abortion since 1993. Leading anti-abortion groups condemned his shooting, emphasizing that they wanted to shut down Tiller’s practice by legal means.

During the 1990s, three doctors who performed abortions were slain in high-profile cases.

In 1998, a sniper killed Dr. Barnett Slepian in his Amherst, New York, home. Anti-abortion activist James Kopp was later arrested in France and is serving life in prison.

In 1994, Dr. John Bayard Britton and a volunteer escort were shot and killed outside an abortion clinic in Pensacola, Florida. Paul Hill, a former minister, was convicted in the killings and executed in 2003.

And in 1993, another doctor, David Gunn, was shot to death outside another Pensacola clinic. His killer, Michael Griffin, is serving a life sentence.

In addition, a nurse at a Birmingham, Alabama, clinic was maimed and an off-duty police officer was killed in a 1998 bombing by Eric Rudolph, who included abortion among his list of anti-government grievances.

Rudolph admitted to that attack and three other bombings — including the 1996 attack on the Olympic Games in Atlanta, Georgia — and is serving life in prison.

The last killing of an abortionist was 8 years ago. It’s hardly a “string of killings.” As usual, it was done by a lone nut (NOT a priest!) who was not associated with any anti-abortion groups and had a number of grudges and obsessions. Also, like this, it wasn’t at the abortion facility.

Are they going to assign each abortion provider his very own Secret Service detail? I guess since abortion is the sacrament of the left, they might.

Barry is going to take full advantage of this. Abortion facilities already get tons of “protection” and First Amendment rights of protestors are limited in a way that applies to no other group. I think we’re going to see some really bad things happening here to the pro-life movement and to our society in general. This gave Obama the excuse he was looking for.
