The Freepers’ reactions are all over the map. Everyone condemns Tiller, but some celebrate his fate while others are decrying that and others are warning the pro-choicers will make use of his martyrdom, with considerable overlap.
Pretty much how the left would be reacting if a prominent RW talk-show host or ex-Bush-Admin official walked into a bullet, I suppose.
If it can’t be shared, it’s not evidence. Hell, it’s not even evidence “for you,” since you have no way to independently verify it.
You have to understand, wording this the way you have here, seems so flippant, cavalier and willy-nilly in its attitude.
Having an abortion should be considered a last-ditch, grave and tragic decision to make.
I disagree, and see nothing “tragic” about it. You’re welcome to, of course, and I respect that, but I don’t see why I “should” see it that way, any more than you should see my attitude as “flippant, cavalier, and willy-nilly” as opposed to how I see it, which is “pragmatic, in my best interest, and unapologetic”.
THe same way idiots like to pose as knowledgeable, yeah, I know the type.
I believe it’s just the responsible attitude to have if you’re to be honest about your choices. This is the one decision you make that will either bring in or terminate another individual, once the ovum has begun.
May not change anything, but it is disheartening. That’s all, really.
Pretty sure “ovum” isn’t the word you’re looking for.
Your opinion on this is not held by everyone. I, for one, do not consider it grave or tragic, nor last-ditch.
In fact, leaving the baby in a ditch is the true last-ditch solution.
What?
I find it equally disheartening that people think that I should work myself into a guilt pretzel for not wanting to, at a minimum, spend nearly a year of my life hosting an unwelcome guest in my body. To each his own.
Lord no! I was just wondering what the dogma was on whether abortion causes any actual harm to a baby’s soul.
Slight hijack as we seem to have veered from course anyway, but just as I agree with Diana in what she says, I’ve always wondered why, if the woman decides to carry to term, the biological father is inevitably stuck with the burden of that child – even if he was against it from the get go?
Her decision, her responsibility, no?
Statement on Phred Phelps’s site:
NOW TILLER GETS TO EXPLAIN HIMSELF TO HIS VICTIMS.
I cannot begin to tell you what is wrong with that statement. And I know I’m going to hell for laughing at it.
Or when a ditch is unavailable, sometimes a dirt road will suffice: http://www.clickorlando.com/news/19618358/detail.html
Well, it’s physically unpleasant for the woman, but what’s “grave” or “tragic” about it?
Cite that an ovum is an individual (even a slightly sticky one)?
Apparently, so are some other people who aren’t expecting it. 
Obviously you are entitled to your own opinion, but I don’t think abortion is any more inherently “grave and tragic” than any other minor surgery. The abortions Dr. Tiller performed were tragic, not because the pregnancies were further along, but because the abortions he performed were on women who wanted to have children and suffered some sort of tragic circumstance that forced them to terminate.
When I had an abortion it wasn’t grave or tragic. My birth control failed, so I did the responsible thing and had an abortion. It’s been well over a decade, and I’ve never cried over it, or really been bothered by it at all. When I had my kids I was thankful that I’d had it, because I knew I was ready then, and not before, and that I had done the right thing. I am thankful I had the choice, and I am deeply saddened that because of some asshole murderer other women, women who’s lives are in danger, may not have the choice I had. That is the tragedy here. A hero for women’s heath has been assassinated. It is a grave and tragic day.
Well, you have to differentiate the two somehow. Now just say how. Going to be hard to outlaw parsley, though. And you’re going to have to test all these natural miscarriages for the presence of Misoprostol, right?
When we get to Hell, it will always be Pledge Week.
