The Killing of George Tiller: A "Pro-life" Murder? »
Posted By Progressive 5 months, 2 weeks ago in Religion"Pro-life" as the self-description of the anti-abortion movement has a fundamental flaw at its heart. The moral absolute of "life" is not applied consistently by the majority of those in this movement. Many in the "pro-life" anti-abortion movement seem to only be pro-life in the case of abortion -- unlike those who hold an ethic of life across a range of moral issues, not only abortion but also war and the death penalty, This makes "pro-life" in regard to abortion not only an inconsistent ethic, but an unstable one.

Really?

You're ignoring Bill O'Reiley's comments from The Factor. He was comparing Tiller to Nazis on his show as far back as 2005.
Must be nice Georgia living in denial that there are some parts of the RNC / GOP / Right Wing Christian Conservative base that a. believe what the right wing radio show hosts spout as truth and b. under the previous Presidential Administration ARE TERRORISTS.
How is killing a doctor who specializes in women's health not just abortion PRO LIFE? Pro Christ?

Bill O'Reily, the ultimate coward, who has called Tiller a baby killer for almost 8 years consistantly, has insited this murder. O'Reily is a murdering terrorist, as are his lockstepping brainwashed evangelical followers. He was the ring leader and inspiration for operation rescue, and the lone terrorist cell he knew he was inspiring.

Faux noise, the anti-american anti-christian propanda arm of the super rich cons who own america, is a terrorist organisation owned by a foreign national, the director of faux noise is a neocon zionist far right extremist racist of the highest order, and their constant insitement to violence has murdered another american citizen.
They know their propanda works, they are using it to insite violence, Exactly like the mulahas use fatwahs to murder muslims.
If you listen and lockstep with the hyenas of faux noise, you are a coward and a murdering terrorist. -

The thugs of the repuplican party are dancing in the streets tonight, just like the Palistinians were dancing the streets after 911. -

One thing the justifiers of his murder do not

wonder about, - is why Tiller did it.
For wealth?
For hatred of fetuses?
For simple stubborness?
Tiller waited years to be murdered.
He had been threatened; warned, bullied; shot .
Talk TV and talk radio egged it on;
sure it's wrong but he deserves it .
George Tiller did not want to be killed;
he employed guards and security.
Yet, - he did not hide.
He was gunned down where he was every sunday; in church.
Why did he do it?
Let us take him at his word:
he believed women had the spiritual strength, the mental power and the moral right to decide what to do with their bodies.
