Pro-life

[Fittster]

A prominent US abortion doctor has been shot dead at his church in Wichita, Kansas, city officials say.

Sixty-seven year-old George Tiller was killed just after 1000 (1500 GMT) at the Reformation Lutheran Church.

You'd think people could grasp that abortions are useful method of controlling the scrot population.

Or maybe, that it's just no one else's f@cking business!

The last vestiges of morality in humanity go downhill fast within a society when it is considered OK to end a life before it is even given a chance ...especially when it is linked to an economic demographic.

Given that there are many many societies that have practiced infanticide, for a variety of reasons over thousands of years, you will have to do more than merely assert that.

Indeed it's not. Having a child is no-one's business but the two people who created it.

This guy was involed with "late term abortion" i.e when the foetus is beyond 20 weeks of development, the foetus can survive outside the womb at this stage.

Killing him isn't the answer, but it's pretty understandable why he had a lot of people against what he did, which was basically killing unborn children.

Isn't it ironic that an extreme pro-life protagonist thinks it's OK to kill someone?

Er no. At 20 weeks the foetus is in no way viable or likely to survive. Even at 28 weeks it's not a great prognosis.

Very much so.

If you knew what he was going to do, would you have shot Hilter in 1935 if you had the chance? Not that the murder of the doctor was in anyway defensible, but it isn't that ironic given a moments thought.

Doctors also save lives............

Yes, I know that, however there is still no irony in pro-lifers killing someone they consider to be a mass murderer and likely to continue to be a mass murderer, especially if the number of lives this particular doctor was likely to save would be less than the number of abortions he was likely to perform. Their actions were rational IF you accept their premises, however I for one do not.

Ahem - the ironic point is that the person who did the killing claims to be "pro-life".

I'm not making any comment on whether the doctor "deserved to die" or not.
Personally, he didn't - but that's my opinion - and of course, murder is against the law, even in America.

Yes, I know, the point I was making was that there is no irony. Someone who was "pro-life" might also be willing to shoot Hilter in 1935 because of the lives that would save. I would have thought the analogy was pretty straightforward.

However, to err is human, even if he did deserve to die, that doesn't mean he should or that anyone should take the matter into their own hands.

I see what you mean - but the target in this case was chosen SPECIFICALLY because he was involved in the area the murderer was cmapaigning about-
not just because he was a "bad man".
The ironic link is just that bit stronger.

He wasn't killed, it was a case of exteme late-term abortion.

[Eric Mc]

That would make it even more ironic for an anti-abortionist.

Errr, I doubt that was their view.
