You have taken a lot of hits on this thread. I will step in the ring and say that I understand what you are saying. I will go further and say that the hypocrisy displayed by our fellow Freepers has saddened me. If abortion=murder and murder=evil then this killing was evil. Murder is murder. Are we a nation of laws? Or are we like leftists who only pick and choose what laws benefit their agendas. Otherwise they break the law with a nod and wink and do what they damn well please? How does this doctors murder change anything for the better? How does it save one baby? Another doctor, or doctors will step in,don’t doubt it. This is nothing but fuel for the opposition.
The disagreement is okay. I understand folks have strong thoughts on this matter.
I appreciate knowing that you understand where I am coming from. I agree with some of your more pointed comments too.
Well, as for that, I don't think we'll see a successor in Wichita taking over Tiller's "practice"-- Sibelius is no longer governor and the publicity of being the PBA Capitol of the world is probably not something that Wichita still wants to be.
Yesterday, when I saw the first news of his murder, I felt a very sick "Oh, no!" because I believe it was the worst possible news for the pro-life movement. It also seemed pretty good news for the pro-choicers, who have been increasingly embattled by having Tiller be the public ugly face of abortion. Add to that the fact that he was murdered in cold blood in a church, and it sounds too suspiciously like a television screenplay designed to vilify the pro-lifers.
Now, I don't think that the pro-choicers are going to be able to paint all the pro-life movement with this crime, however hard they may try. But I was wondering yesterday why after they captured the suspect they refused to say anything about him.
It was like they were giving the pols time to create a "narrative"--
