Another Abortion Doctor Killed

[Theophylact]

I apologize for misunderstanding Michelle Malkin. Appoarently I gave her far too much credit; she was sarcastically quoting someone who called it terrorism. So in fact she stands with the terrorists, not against them. Less surprising, but more dismaying.

No where in her article does it say or even imply that she stands with terrorists. How did you come to that far fetched conclusion?

Were you meaning to link here?

Michelle Malkin » Notes on the murder of George Tiller

Because she was pointing out honestly how all the pro-life groups stated how Tiller's murder in no way wiped away the blood on his hands, and how the pro-life groups denounced his murder. Maybe you should spend a bit more time listening to your "opponents" rather than merely reacting to your perceptions of them.

And i don't think this was terrorism. it's much more likely that there are few late term abortion doctors because few have the stomach for it, in conjunction with it being legal in a minority of states, and only under strict conditions. Tiller ignored and/or worked his way around those strict conditions... trying to bypass the law and up the number of late term abortions he committed.

No offense to Creatures intended, but I don't read much of what he posts. But regardless of that, what he is posting is more along the lines of conjecture and hypotheticals (at least IMO).

Hounding? Really? You made a specific claim to Theo and haven't backed it up. Instead, rather than backing up what you "know", you tried to tell me what I know. Then you insisted on telling me I knew it. That's more along the lines of hounding if you ask me.

I'll ask for this half of the equation from you. How many partial birth abortions do you think are required annually due to complications of the pregnancy? I'll give you something to ponder while you come up with an estimate. There are over 4 million babies born every year in the US. Throw me out a number.

LMAOROTF A fine wake for DR. Tiller. The guy's DEAD. Let him rest in PEACE.

The evil that men do lives after them, the good is oft interred with their bones. So let it be with Tiller.

Time for a shot of Bushnell's .

Get a grip of reality. Cops look for motive all the time. In this case the motive was a religious view and not political. An act by a home grown Christian terrorist/extremist. Profiling works. Ask any law enforcement agent.

Now about the profile I have on you. My conclusion is that your sleeves need to be about 2’ longer and tied together around your back, ready for transport.

Have a nice day.

Less than 1% of all abortions are late term and have medical reasoning to back the procedure. You're parroting unsustanciated claims from religious conservative web sites.

This is where you say you don't frequent religious conservative web sites.....

Beemer... i actually don't. I got those links from google at the behest of Gomer. But it wouldn't matter if i did. i do frequent conservative websites, as if that matters any. My opinions are my own.

[cyphen]

back off, gomer... i was setting the stage with how many partial birth abortions are performed, and supplying information on how many abortions are performed each year.

As for my opinion on how many of the partial birth abortions performed each year are "medically necessary" (as in the life of the mother is at stake)... maybe 25? 3?

How many do you think are required to save the life of the mother?

according to this, not many.... (i doubt the statistics are different for us)

Abortion to save the mother’s life

Between 1967 and 1990, only 151 abortions have been carried out to save the mother's life, a figure amounting to 0.004% of all abortions. (Dr Michael Jarmulowicz, cited in The Physical and Psycho-Social effects of Abortion on Women: A Report by the Commission of Inquiry into the Operation and Consequences of The Abortion Act, June 1994 p. 5)
