> [@RandMcnally](#): > > I always assumed killing babies was a big no-no in Christianity. Well, of course, killing babies is a big no-no pretty much everywhere. Such a big no-no that there are actually laws against it in most places. Laws that governments are perfectly happy to enforce without relying on self-appointed yahoos to enforce for them. Terminating pregnancies is actually a lawful procedure in a large number of places, under varying types of conditions, and get this: _not ALL sects of Christianity hold the belief that it is always and everywhere a big no-no_. Shocking as it may be to you, Christianity is not a monolith. ---

The doctor had already been shot before and was under constant threats. He drove a bulletproof car and wore a bulletproof vest. ---

Idiot motherf–ing imbecile! Hope you get hat you deserve and then some! If the guy killed the doctor because he’s an abortionist he’s doing more damage than any help he thought he might be doing. Doesn’t he get that the whole point of being pro-life is NOT KILLING PEOPLE?! ---

It’s “collateral damage”. A pretty useful concept when you want to kill people and claim you really did not want to kill tyem. ---

No, the point is hurting people; women, and those that help them. It’s about malice and control, not any desire to save the life of anyone or anything. The “pro-life” movement is pro-life the way nations that call themselves “People’s Republic” are for the people; in name only. ---

Code, section, and subsection, if you please. Secular law only, as if I need to specify. Come to think of, where you’re concerned, it seems I do.
