The weak points in all of these arguments that we make against the murder of Tiller is the logic we use to justify the American Revolution.

On the 4th of July, we will all be singing the other side of the coin.

When it becomes necessary for oppressive chains to be thrown off because of the despotism of the government. Inasmuch as abortion is an issue of disenfranchisement (taxation without representation), and it is, then there is a point at which the oppression of the despots must be overthrown.

That, too, is the lesson of John Brown, who, in the battle hymn of the Republic, lies moldering in his grave.

When is that point? Is it when the court is fully populated with justices who publicly claim that courts “set policy?”

Ever been to Harpers Ferry?

The memorial plaques and literature there, maintained and distributed by the National Park Service, practically idolize the man.

It may very well come to that.

It would almost be the Civil War in reverse. The southern states seceded to preserve slavery and the federal government used secession as an excuse to end slavery. In this case, pro-life states might secede to end abortion and then the ball would be in the federal governments court. However, I do not believe that their is ANY CHANCE that the federal government would start another war to preserve the Union.
