This is the first year since such questions have been surveyed that the majority of Americans are identifying as "pro-life" on the question of abortion. It will of course take much more than popular opinion to overturn Roe v. Wade, but it is quite remarkable, this shift in opinion, nonetheless.
How idiotic it is, then, to create martyrs for the pro-choice cause. How idiotic it is to risk dissolving popular sentiment for the pro-life cause. One murderous weirdo risks turning any ground gained back against the cause of the right of the unborn to live.
It doesn't advance the cause at all. It sets it back. And adds more doctors to the ranks of the resolute and emboldened abortionist trade, more years to the era of abortion. More babies.
And of course apart from murder being an illogical and impractical strategy, it is also wrong. Which is to say, even if it was a logical strategy and a practical one, it still would be a sinful one.

Afraid to comment, because last sequence of posts on this topic I'd taken a post with Bill's name on it to be from Bill while someone else sent it and I thus, in picking at the post, picked at Bill who never said what that post that wasn't his said....

Wow,
Almost noone is responding...
The problem with chasing Roe v. Wade is that it will be forced upon unwilling, unconvinced people...convince them and change the reality on the ground before trying to change RvW...If one looks carefully enough, it becomes obvious that women dig B. Obama because he protects the foundations of feminism...control over one's body...teach what real control is...sexual control and inspired parenting...we should be teaching/encouraging/convincing the next generation to understand the fallacy that equates self-control with ending the life started in a sexual choice. We should be encouraging a view of children as awesome...nt a population nightmare.

Roy - no worries.
DeCoy - well said.
And I think the reason no one is responding is because Jared's post is spot on, and because we already went back and forth on this topic in a long thread on a previous post.

Bill-thanks. And you probably have it right regarding scarcity of responses.
Which makes me wonder: have others noted what Franky Schaeffer has been saying re the murder of the abortionist? (summary: claims he and Christian right pulled the trigger; essentially equates opposition to murdering babies to supporting violence) Franky proves Jared's point, tiched in the head like tho Franky may be.

wow........Decoy, I have never considered the notion of "true control over one's self" in relation this this issue. That's a powerful argument, as good as any out there, and I thought I had already heard all the good ones!
Did that originate with you? If not, where did you hear that?

On Laura Ingraham's show today, she played a clip of a woman affiliated with some abortion group who hoped that, with this doctor's death, many more people would step up to take his place. What makes this sentiment particularly sad is that Tiller was one of only three doctors in the nation who performed partial-birth abortions.
The Left holds abortion doctors up as heroes, and dead ones are martyrs.
