Achieved his objective

O'Reilly got what he was after: Tiller's very life. Fox News has gone too far. It advocates violence and lawlessness daily. When does it cross the line? They should be held accountable for their reckless, and I believe criminal, actions. Someone should sue. Despicable.

Love???

What I see in this discussion is a lot of nuts who have lost reason. Dr, Tiller has been involved with this dirty business for a long time. To suggest that he should not have any opposition on such a controversal profession is very foolish and unrealistic. Passion against killing innocent children would be hard to stop in this world anyway.

I don't condone anyone being killed, but I could see some folks having different views about killing people who inflict death on a daily basis . Hitler would be on the list. Stalin would be another. The amount of misery these type of people inflicted is very difficult to fathom. I think Dr. Tiller could be considered one of these people who systematically has killed thousands of people even though it appears so clinical, clean and impersonal. I would venture many of you with Tillers view have not seen many preemie babies. These babies would have been Dr. Tillers victims if they were unwanted.

To see a sonogram and to say that a fetus is nothing but a piece of flesh is foolishness at best. A child has a heart, fingernails, eyes ...everything. Its not about mothers rights. To mother, you have to have a child to nurture so there is not a mother in abortion. There is a murderer involved but not a mother. But if she the woman, wanted to truly mother the baby and someone attempted to murder this developing human being besides herself, it would be considered murder. I have trouble with any sane reasonable person rationalizing this. Maybe its just our sick twisted society.

You in this discussion that favor the position of late Dr. Tiller see what you want to see. You coverup with symantics and word smithing to cover guilt in your sentiments. So you close your eyes to the consequences, and we suffer as a society. I know many view our society not very differently from the brutal Stalinist regime that oppressed their peoplem. because of the brutality of abortion in this country.

I feel many of you in this discussion have lost your souls, so there is no reasoning in a discussion with you. If you have no soul, what is your purpose in living anyway, you are already dead. I know people who don't understand this or don't care, but life in this world is like this. It has not really changed since the dawn of time in how man consider himself so highly and yet he is so horribly flawed by sin.

As for Bill O'reilly, I don't think much about him or his comments. But all I think he did, was reveal a injustice of late term abortions and a person who was involved with this dirty stinking business. So yes-- Dr Tiller did have blood on his hands. But he was in church when he died, I won't presume how God sees this because Gods ways are not mans ways. Obviously man's ways are corrupt and worthless until we as individuals truly believe and trust in God.

Freedom of Choice Act NOW!

It's time for the Freedom of Choice Act to be implemented to prevent the further outrageous infringement on the religious, privacy and equal rights of American women. This is its basic premise:

(a) STATEMENT OF POLICY- It is the policy of the United States that every woman has the fundamental right to choose to bear a child, to terminate a pregnancy prior to fetal viability, or to terminate a pregnancy after fetal viability when necessary to protect the life or health of the woman.

(b) PROHIBITION OF INTERFERENCE- A government may not--

(1) deny or interfere with a woman's right to choose--

(A) to bear a child;

(B) to terminate a pregnancy prior to viability; or

(C) to terminate a pregnancy after viability where termination is necessary to protect the life or health of the woman; or

(2) discriminate against the exercise of the rights set forth in paragraph (1) in the regulation or provision of benefits, facilities, services, or information.

(c) CIVIL ACTION- An individual aggrieved by a violation of this section may obtain appropriate relief (including relief against a government) in a civil action.

False Choice

to : matismommy

You equate late-term abortions with the death penalty.

That is a false choice. Late-term viable fetuses are

innocent, they did nothing wrong, they commited no

crime.

People put to death have been convicted of a crime

and sentenced to death, hardly an ' innocent life '.

You may believe they are equal, but they are not.

Depriving someone of their life as punishment for

their crimes is NOT the same as depriving someone

of life because their parents don't want them to

be born.

O'Reilly

These are about the meanest, nastiest people I have come across in a long,long, time. They spew horrible venom about folk on the airwaves; when they themselves are the evil ones. What is the difference between them and the taliban. When I was growing up and we were fighting against segregation, any man or woman who came to speak about how we could fight to end this terrible system was arrested and charged with "inciting to riot". They could never have been on the airwave saying even the mild speeches that they made never mind spouting off against a system that was morally wrong;and they had legal validity on their side.

Yet these guys can use the airwaves and media to spew all their hatred and ignorance, be they lies or propaganda, and not one thing is done in the attempt to calm it down. I, then, have to assume that the media sees nothing wrong with what they are saying to people, many who are just as or even more ignorant than they. The things that have been said about the doctor whose life was taken yesterday because they decided that he had no right to his own belief. Taken by some idiot who cares more about a life not yet here than one that is. And the lying nasty things that Rust Limpballs says about the Supreme Court Nominee. The problem is that they are afraid that these people think like they do since they have been a part of all this stuff they are accusing others of. Buchanan, himself, spewed his venom onto Black Americans in his essay on how he felt about their place in America. When you have done and been a part of so much evilness yourself, I guess you can't help but think one day you might have it done to you. When Wanda Sykes made her bit at the Press Dinner, the media couldn't wait to get home before they started talking about how she "stepped over the line". Well when will we hear that these ignorant, inciters like, rush, cheney, liddy, buchanan, o'reilly,rove and the rest of the evil, hatemongers whot have said vile and evil things about the President of the United States, even wishing for the country to fail; when will they have "Stepped over the line"? What do they have to say to put them in the category with Ms.Sykes? Until the time that the media takes them to task for "stepping over the line" I'm thinking that the media is giving them a bigger voice therfore acting as co-conspirators to this terrorism. In my opinion they stepped over the line a long, long time ago. I don't dail my channels to Fox nor any of the other muckrackers and idiots who willing wrapped their civil rights in a flag and gave them over to Cheney and Rove in exchange for a gun. yet when I listen to CNN, MSNBC, not only do I have to hear the reporters and talk show host telling me what ignorant blowhards have said, showing me the videos of them spewing their comtempt for the majority of the American people and especially for the President and his family; but introducing them on their shows to debate or discuss the merits of their garbage. To me they are not news. These "christians" who are so concerned about the lives of unborn babies but care so little about the people who are already here that they can condone the brutal murder of a doctor who is making his choice. They make me sick. they are a bigger threat to this nation than any outside terroists from abroad. These are the weapons of mass destruction. They have a right to speak and I have a right not to listen to them. So when I chose the stations that have not hired them, could I please hear a bit less of what they have to say and a lot more of the people who are working to bring this country back from its darkest days? Let's face it, the bottom line is that these racist weapons of mass destruction are most angry because the American people elected an Afican American President. Don't get it twisted, this is the basis for all this muckraking and discontent.
