Tiller's Women's Health Care Services clinic is one of just three in the nation where abortions are performed after the 21st week of pregnancy. The clinic was heavily fortified and Tiller often traveled with a bodyguard, but Stolz said there was no indication of security at the church Sunday.

Now what do we see here right in this thread but comments to the effect of... "I think killing this doctor was wrong BUT...(Pro (cough) Life talking points and bible thumping BS)" . They are expressing tacit approval of this cowardly act of terrorism just like their brethren in Mecca. Hmmmmm...

The problem with these 'pro-life' zealots is that they don't realize that they ARE terrorists. Terrorists kill people simply because they disagree with them, and that's what these 'pro-lifers' advocate.
Anyway, following up on my previous post, what exactly is the limit to how many abortions one can have? I plan on having at least three more, that would make it six in total for me.
Murdering to prevent murder seems to be what some anti abortionists are willing to advocate, both in real life and here on the internet. Cheering the death of a man, while advocating life for others... Double standard, anyone?

But just remember when you become pregnant it's not JUST your body anymore, part of that man is also "inside" you, part of his body now lives and evolves inside of you, and together with your body it has created "another" life inside of you.
By this unity of his body (sperm) and your body, another body is created, the body of a living baby.
So yes not only do you control your body, but you control the whole unity of this creation.

Overall, as a nation, the US disagreed with the Nazis that it was a good idea to gas Jews by the thousands. Are we a nation of terrorists then?
Simply put, the doctor's murder was a crime, not an act of terrorism.
Nah...I'm not concerned about getting more abortions. I've already had three. Regrettably, only one of them was late-term...but oh well.
Rather than have 3 more abortions, how about you close your legs for awhile?

You own your body? Why don't you make it live forever? Delusions of granduer. You were born and now you fight the Unborn, what a hypocrite! If your ideology is Death, then stop advocating it for the defenseless and choose it for yourself.

You're in denial. When you get sick, go tell your dr that you are energy and medicine doesn't pertain. Again, delusions of granduer. You didn't create yourself, therefore you have no authority to even describe your own existence. But you readily advocate the killing of the yet to be born?

While abortion is always problematic... no one I know is "in favor" of it... rather they support a woman's right to make her own decision... and I know no woman who has had one who did not agonize over it first.
Abortion is among a variety of things... a moral decision, a physical decision, a biological decision and a spiritual decision and on all of those levels it is a profoundly personal and private decision... and as such, it is NOBODIES BUSINESS BUT HER'S, HER PARTNER (if he is part of her life) AND HER DOCTOR'S. Certainly not a bunch of self righteous busy bodies who do not know the woman or her situation.
...and most definitely not someone who decides to take "the law" into their own hands or someone who either eggs them on or applaud their action.
Just because you may have strong moral convictions does not mean you have the right to force them onto others.
As for the "murder of the unborn" mantra... an embryo or a fetus is not a child... it is a child in the making... it is a potential life... when it can live viably outside the mother's body then it is a life... still only the doctor and the woman can determine whether it is safe or appropriate for her to have it... not activists.
The bottom line is this... if all abortion were made legal it would not end abortions... it would just put an end to safe medical procedures and a return to back alley hack shops, coat hangers and tragic deaths.
