Why aren't you pushing for people to see those and then maybe we can end war....oh, that's right, once the child is born YOU DON'T CARE! And if they are Iraqi you REALLY don't care!
You need those babies coming out fast for more cannon fodder and burger flippers and low paid workers.
What I'm gleaning from this is: Its better to murder babies before they are born, lest they grow up to be patriotic Americans not on welfare. That is pretty twisted...even for you.

The man who killed Dr. Tiller is a coward that should be put to death. That being said, Dr. Tiller was no hero.

With that said, I can't support late-term abortions, so I won't say that Tiller is a "hero."

What did happen was that he was performing his job and the law supported him. The legal definition of abortion does not equate the act with murder.

The same cannot be said of his assassin, who is guilty of unprovoked premeditated murder.

Regardless of your opinon of abortion, it is the law of the land that is the final arbitor.

I see. You screw up your sentence, and still find a way to blame the reader. That's pretty indicative of your whole outlook on life, isn't it?
If you can't comprehend a perfectly coherent sentence that has an extra "and" in it - you have more problems that I thought.

Tiller, $5,000 a pop times 60,000 doesn't make a hero, it makes a fat bank account and the incentive to take the risks.
Where do you get the $5000 number? Has that price been verified?

I've come to the conclusion that we can't treat an organism inside the womb as a person. You have come to the conclusion that it is a person - that is what it boils down to.

If you want to be the centre of a movement to end abortion by various means... I'll watch for you in the news. However, I will not be a part of it.

Well you have inherited illegal aliens.... and the problem is? How'd they get into the U.S? Tighten up the borders!!!

Deport all illegal aliens back to Mexicana - and what are you going to do about it - what will happen to the U.S economy.. are you going to pick up a second Job at Sonic cuz there's nobody there to serve you. How are you going to deport them all that they are all here - is it logistically and ecoomically viable and feasible...my point is we can get into 5 billion hyptotheticals here.

You just described a mafia hit man or a heroin mule. Take your pick.
