it violates every moral principle upon which the Pro-Life message rests.

maybe he is not “pro-life” ,, maybe he is “anti-abortion” ...

You go ahead and have your war of words using reason and principles and let me know how far that gets you... (oh I forgot ,, 36 years and nothing to show for it because you’re playing against opponents that don’t follow your pitiful little rules... maybe your first clue should have been them using the supreme court to create law!)

I don’t disagree with the principle you state about the Supreme Court making law, or about the travesty that Abortion is. Those who are pro-life don’t wantonly kill people without direct cause (self-defense or defense of one’s family/property) or UNTIL all LEGAL, or at least NON-LETHAL, NON-VIOLENT means have been exhausted.

Apparently some here have appointed themselves the judges of when this standard has been met. Sorry, I’m not God — and this fool (and others who murder as Tiller’s killer did) was not the equivalent of the Minutemen on the town greens at Lexington & Concord.

And perhaps you’re right — perhaps it’s best to distinguish between “Pro-Life” and “Anti-Abortion.” If that means that I prefer not to murder in order to temporarily halt abortions that will just be rescheduled for NEXT WEEK, then I’ll be PRO-LIFE. Others, driven by a right principle to act in a WRONG WAY, will allow their anger and frustration to overwhelm their sound judgment — and they will act rashly. Ultimately, the very cause they hope to bolster will gain popular sympathy and they will do FAR MORE HARM to the cause of ending abortion, both by making it a more popular, protected and available option, AND by bringing ALL those who oppose abortion under suspicion and persecution.

You may demean and belittle my “rules” (PRINCIPLES), but years after people who murder abortionists are imprisoned or executed, it will be those of us with PRINCIPLES who stand on the town greens — and if we are forced to pull the trigger, it will be based on those principles, not on some misguided, emotionally out-of-control vigilante act.
