Let me be clear on why I am posting this: I like Kevin Williamson. I think he's generally a smart guy. I am hoping someone can shed some light for me on why he would say something so volatile two months in front of such an important election. All of the news that I am seeing on this is from one perspective.

[skeeter]

Don’t know anything about this, but I’d lay odds he was being sarcastic, ironic, or otherwise making some rhetorical point.

[Regulator]

Hey, murder used to carry that penalty...

[Tenacious 1]

This is ok under Sharia Law, especially if the baby aborted was a boy. Right? Or is beheading the only accepted retribution. I’m fuzzy on the details.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Can you say agent provocateur?

[I want the USA back]

Now the democrats will use this in their “Republican war on women” crap.

[Responsibility2nd]

Who is Kevin Williamson and what difference does it make in the grand scheme national politics if he said something that was likely designed to piss off the libtards at LGF?

Whoever he is - good for him. And after they hang the women, they need to hang the so-called doctors who murdered the babies.

[Morgana]

Women who have abortions should be prayed for.

[Fester Chugabrew]

A modest proposal.

[Morgana]

Women who have abortions should ask God to forgive them.

[Sherman Logan]

Kevin’s position is at least intellectually consistent.

Way too many prolife people refuse to accept that if abortion is murder, then the “mother” is one of the murderers.

It’s much more comfortable, though not logically defensible, to make her “another victim” of the operation.

If you believe that abortion is murder, and in capital punishment for murder, then what other position can you come to?

[BCW]

his Twitter account could have been hacked?

[mbarker12474]

What then, should we do with mothers and doctors and fathers and other persons who kill babies?

[SkyDancer]

The woman allows it. The abortionist does it. Hang him/her.

[trisham]

I’m against the death penalty. What he said was needlessly provocative.

[Morgana]

Women who have abortions need to be shown some mercy because as Jesus said on the cross “forgive them Father for they know not what they do”

[Fester Chugabrew]

I would be satisfied if women who advocate for abortion simply not hold public office. Women who have had abortions, like Morgana said, should be prayed for. But this incident of someone suggesting women who’ve had abortions be hanged, is most like hyperbole to get abortion advocates to hyperventilate. Works every time.

[markomalley]

What is the penalty for murder these days? Manslaughter?

Of course, there might be mitigating circumstances, like mental duress, I’ll admit...but still...

[jocon307]

It was foolish of him to say this, it doesn’t help.

AFTER we hang kalid sheik mohommed, et al, we can consider who else should swing.

[Chickensoup]

This is exactly the sort of stuff that conservatives need to stay away from during the election cycle.

[ifinnegan]

I never heard of him.

My first question is why is he communicating with these people?
