Before I ever posted on this thread Pro-lifers were called "the scum of the earth" "as low as human beings can get" " bunch of hyprocrites"(at least three times) and it was said that "christianity had put out a Jihad on abortionists". The attractiveness of no consequence sex and the contempt for christianity many feel here make it impossible to get any pro-life message across. I'm sure the shooter used words for years before he ever picked up a gun. He probably was answered with the same contempt as has been expressed through out this thread. Combined that with the fact that he now has a President who has sided against the unborn at every turn during his short career. Words became useless. Lead on the other hand did what words couldn't do: Stop Tiller. Sure someone will replace the doctor but, other doctors who might have considered the abortion business might not like the cost to profit ratio anymore. Dr. Tiller had millions when he died. Now he's got nothing.
There are a lot of stupid platitudes that has been offered in this thread. Yours is one of the worst: "killing people is wrong". Really?? Our military and police forces must deeply offend you then. Dr. Tiller is done killing now only because of lethal force. That is a good thing if the shooter is right and those were babies he was killing. Actually most changes of significance to society(both good and bad) have come through lethal force. The American Constitution became the law of the land because of lethal force backing it up. Both the constitution and the war were illegal until enough British blood was spilt. That bloodshed changed British opinion about their other terrotories. Canada walked away from English control without bloodshed because enough British blood had been spilled in America and France to change their minds about things. Perhaps if this thread has had any useful purpose it is to demonstrat how useless dialogue is in saving the unborn.
Here is my platitude: Killing the unborn is unacceptable when the life of his/her mother isn't at significant risk by carrying her child.
