” 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 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.

I do remember Eric Rudolph as possibly the most famous, I was going to mention him as one of the examples of somebody who I know who was responsible for something like this(yet he didn’t even kill an Abortionist). If I can recall, though, he did it years ago. The Dr. Britton thing was the one that I mentioned, I thought that it was a priest not a former minister, and I did remember that the murderer got executed, but I didn’t realize that the whole thing happened in 1994. This just proves that the screaming and screeching by the Left of Abortion clinic bombers and the like is very much hardly warranted. The government response is also hardly warranted.

Where was Eric Holder sending out US Marshals when the employees of AIG were getting constant death threats against their lives?
This is just like when billions of dollars were being spent, by the government, to “combat the swine flu”.
