Pro-Lifer Laments His Role in Abortion Doctor's Death

Killing an abortion doctor doesn.t sound very pro life to me.  Sounds more like an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth to me.

There may be numerous reasons why a late term abortion is necessary.  It should always be a decision made by the pregnant woman.  It is her that bears the child and labours to deliver it.

I agree with Barbara here - there may be reasons others are not aware of that might make a late-term abortion a possible option.

I'd venture to echo Barbara and Amy on this extremely sensitive issue of choice insofar as these decisions are made by women with specific reason or condition that no one outside of their families and doctors could possibly know. 

As one of the founders of the radical pro life movement, Mr. Schaeffer offers a rare look into the cultivation of the mindset of intolerance toward the doctors and workers at the hands of the pro life movement, with the doctors and staff acting within the law, whether those pro life advocates agree or not.

Special attention should be paid to his admonition that there is danger when advocates cross the line, as a result of incendiary rhetoric, becoming fanatics rationalizing murder as they proclaim themselves pro life.

When a woman terminates a pregnancy after 15 weeks (after you can feel movement), there are more than likely medical reasons for doing so.  Anyone that's had a baby within their womb would realize that.  And amniocentesis isn't done until 18 weeks.

Schaeffer is a useless diversion wrapped in fairly wasted skin.  His father never advocated violence of the sort he now accepts blame for.  Jeepers, Frankie, go back and read your dad's books.  What he did advocate was to remove oneself from conflict for so long and so often as was possible and necessary.  Only when armed action was the only remaining alternative did the dad express spiritual support for armed action.  In fact, the elder Schaeffer's reasoning matches our Declaration, which justified armed rebellion only when abuses that could be suffered  had been suffered for as long as they could be.

Dragging out Frankie Schaeffer to prove a point related to Christian responsibility for the Tiller murder is considerably less justified than say dragging out Jeffrey Dahmer to prove the connection between serial murder and homosexual criminals.

Isn't it rather sad that we in the modern world use the words "pro Choice" for the killing of a viable baby?  Think about it....I do not condone murder of anyone, including abortion doctors.  Having said that, what have we become as a society when we value our vacations and "things" more than children?  All I can say is shame on us!
