Really? Why are they taking it this far? I've never even connected pro-life people holding crosses being akin to burning crosses on a black man's lawn. I'm getting sick of the hatred coming from both sides, but now especially from the left. I was getting pretty irritated reading the anonymous comments of certain disturbed sociopaths who praised Dr. Tiller's death, if not the comments that still refer to him as a monster even after murder (am I right, Mr. Bozell?), but this left-wing tirade is getting on my nerves even more. Olberfuher, take your Mic' and stick it where the sun don't shine. I simply want the truth, not insults.

Democracy Now is the same propoganda site that scubbed the boos out of Michael Moore's acceptance speech at the academy award's show in 2003 where he called bush out refering to the 2000 election as "ficticious." Having heard the speech live, you could barely hear his rant through the boos, even the band started playing over him.

Amy Goodman and her crew of cowards changed the recording of his speech to eliminate all the background noise. They played it during their interview of him the following week. I have zero respect for cowards like that. They are no better than the Nazi's were in the 30's drumming up populist resentment and hatred.

"No I have the facts"

--The resident Joe Friday 

"So, these anti-abortion protesters—and let’s not call them "pro-life." You know, they’re not pro-life; they’re anti-abortion."

Well, you know these pro-choice people - an let's not call them "pro-choice" they are pro-abortion baby killers.

I wonder how that article would have gone over?

And once again let me ask: If they believe that it ISN'T a baby inside of the mother, just unviable tissue matter, why is it such a big deal if people put crosses or anything else in their path? It's not like it's an actual person growing inside them or anything. Why is there counseling and why do these women sometimes go through such agony with their decisions if it's not really a baby until it's born? I wonder when they will ever address those questions.

And even WHEN a baby is born it can still be killed by the doctor in Obama's America. That's today's (d)emocrat Party. But that's ok. It was unwanted so like a burger wrapper you thow it away. 

You support the troops by supporting the mission! If you don't support the mission, have the guts to say you don't support the troops.

Obama: Not my President. Ever.

gets so agitated with the crosses is that she is probably fighting her own conscience.

I am uncomfortable with the idea of banning abortions, that won't stop them anyway.  We need to change peoples' hearts (that seems to be taking place as time passes).

We need to remind "pro-choicers" that most babies are aborted because they would be inconvenient to someone.  We could just politely ask "Does that sound like a good reason to snuff out a new life, because it is inconvenient?", then let them stew in their own thoughts and come to their own conclusions.  Don't get in their faces, just give them a powerful thought to consider on their own time.

When given time to come to their own conclusions to questions such as these, it doesn't require a backing down in public, which is against human nature.  In the privacy of their own home, they don't "lose face" when they change their hearts and their minds.

As for Dr. Tiller's "services", you might ask someone, as late-term abortions - to save the mother's life or because gross medical deformities - are generally available at most hospitals,...

What is the point of the late-term abortions that Dr. Tiller so willingly performed? 

At that point of the pregnancy, everyone knows the woman is pregnant, whatever embarassment there is has already taken place. 

After each of those 60,000 late-term abortions, when the formerly (obviously) pregnant woman returned home, with no "bulge" and no baby, how did she explain it?  So how many of his "clients" eventually commited suicide years later because of the guilt they felt?  How many of the women died or became infertile because they didn't expel all of the fetal tissue and became infected?

Did he ever ask any of the women "do you really want to do this?"?

Just as Nate Phelps has escaped from the Fred Phelps' "church", will some of Dr. Tiller's grown kids someday admit the shame of their father's "work"?  When he held each of his newly-born children, then his grandchildren, didn't anything "dawn on him"?

While Dr. Tiller sat in church, did he think to himself that he would someday repent and it would all be "OK"?  If you live long enough, you will know people that die suddenly of aneurysms (sp.?), massive heart attacks, strokes, violent car accidents, with no chance of repentance.  It is best not to procrastinate, but don't bother if you are not sincere.  The "big guy" knows what is in your heart. 

No, Scott Roeder was not legally right, but everything happens for a reason.  Sometimes a moral wrong is needed to stop a greater moral wrong.

A final thought...If Dr. Tiller had served out his career and retired, would there have been a retirement dinner and ceremony lauding him for his "lifetime of service"?  Would he have received a gold plaque from someone?  Did he ever think about his legacy?

60,000.  How can any decent, thinking person not be bothered by that?  That would be a nice-sized little city that doesn't exist.  Some of those abortions would have happened somewhere else, most likely, but he could have counseled instead of killed.

Sorry that I prattled on about this, but 60,000 dead babies, at the hands of one man...for the sake of convenience.

We are a better nation than that.  Or we should be.

Abortion is a waste of good life.

Goodman has a point...of sorts, if only from her twisted perspective. The KKK burns crosses on peoples' lawns in order to frighten them and keep them from doing things that run counter to the KKK's project. From Goodman's point of view, anti-abortion protesters are doing the same thing when they put up their crosses in front of abortion clinics. To her eyes, they're trying to frighten women away.

What Goodman doesn't understand is that those crosses aren't there to frighten anyone. They're there as a plea to peoples' consciences. While it's true that to evil people any testimony to the truth of God's final judgment is a terrifying thing indeed, to people still capable of love and of shame for their sins, such testimony is nothing but a reminder to either get on or remain on the right path. The crosses are simply a plea to turn back before it's too late, as opposed to a personal threat against their lives.

But to people whose whole point of view is merely earthly and dog-eat-dog, for whom everything is dark, evil, and in perpetual, mortal conflict, such an explanation can never occur, which is why Goodman and the whole abortion rights industry imagine pro-life protesters as demons hiding vicious, pointy teeth behind their smiles and curses behind their prayers.
