re: #250 acacia

Many people, including me, are pro-life and very ardently so. NONE of them that I know advocates or condones killing of a doctor who performs abortions. EVERYONE I know, whether pro life, pro choice, whatever, abhors such things. The question I have then is “How do we ‘man up’ now when we’ve always ‘manned up’? The “man up” premise is false because you must equate the “movement” and the fringe anti abortion advocates as the same.

It isn’t false. A quick glance at a disturbingly large number of “pro-life” sites shows articles and comments sections literally brimming with support for this act. It is precisely the same as handing out candy in the streets after the World Trade Center bombings, and those cheering on this cheering on Roeder are every bit as culpable as he is.
