Re: Gunman Kills Abortion Doctor
 

I think that this is just really, really hypocritical. For someone who is supposed to respect and protect all human life to kill someone??

Re: Gunman Kills Abortion Doctor
 

Wow, that's maximum hypocrisy. That's just pathetic.

Re: Gunman Kills Abortion Doctor
 

Isn't this hypocritical? He's killed someone to show that he thinks killing is wrong...

He made a strong statement.

Re: Gunman Kills Abortion Doctor
 

There is no difference between this and Muslim extremism; it's terrorism, and more importantly, it's domestic terrorism. This guy should be sent to guantanamo bay and then be waterboarded.

Re: Gunman Kills Abortion Doctor
 

Somebody hated abortion a littlee to much..
lol.

Re: Gunman Kills Abortion Doctor
 

LOL, nice hypocritical act. He is for life so he kills a medical doctor? Strong statement it may have been but it was an extremely hypocritical one.

I'm not really that surprised...it's in freaking Kansas.

Re: Gunman Kills Abortion Doctor
 

I'm curious about what the gunman thought this would accomplish. All this does is make all pro-lifers seem like psycho vigilantes, which doesn't help their cause. Killing one abortion doctor isn't going to stop abortions, it means the women who were going to see that doctor are now going to see a different one. All he's done is guaranteed himself a lengthy prison sentence. Some people just have no sense in them.

Re: Gunman Kills Abortion Doctor
 

yeah, but i don't think its the statement he meant to make. It doesn't make people think "oh wow, abortion is bad" it makes people think he's crazy and it carries that thought to other pro-lifers.

Re: Gunman Kills Abortion Doctor
 

Well most people who hate abortion don't go out and kill others who are Pro abortion.

Re: Gunman Kills Abortion Doctor
 

Sorry I can't help it this annoys me every time. NO ONE is "Pro-abortion", nobody they don't exist.

Anywho this is indeed horrible, and certainly doesn't make pro-lifers look all too great.

Re: Gunman Kills Abortion Doctor
 

And here I was not knowing that "pro life" means you only care about fetuses and not people who are already born. Geez, surprises abound.

No but seriously, this is just really sad. Some people need to learn how to cool it.

Re: Gunman Kills Abortion Doctor
 

Re: Gunman Kills Abortion Doctor
 

Wow, that's tragic. :\
He helped so many women and gets SHOT? Ugh.
My view on pro-lifers won't change by this, I know they're not psychos willing to kill for all the...fetuses or whatever the guy shot him for. It's horrible that he did this.

Re: Gunman Kills Abortion Doctor
 

To all those saying that it's hypocritical for a pro-lifer to kill an abortion doctor, the murderer would have thought that he was saving hundreds or even thousands of lives: the fact that they were pre-birth makes no difference to the pro-lifer. Would you kill one person to save a hundred others? Especially if you knew that there was no legal recourse. Not that I agree with what this guy did. I'm pro-choice and a pacifist. But he did have a certain twisted logic.

Re: Gunman Kills Abortion Doctor
 

I'm trying to understand his serious lack of logic. Clearly he thought killing the doctor would do something, but you only have to think about it a second to see that killing one doctor doesn't stop women having abortions, it just gets them to go to a different doctor. It doesn't further the pro-life cause, it makes it seem like anyone against abortion is a psycho waiting to kill anyone who doesn't agree with them. It's just amazing sometimes how little sense people have.

Re: Gunman Kills Abortion Doctor
 

I see the logic of kill 1 to save 100s, however, his actions don't stop abortionists from performing abortions, don't stop women from getting abortions and they don't put people who have the stance of "pro-life" in a good light. One could argue later that "pro-lifers" are loony because of what this guy did. Obviously that's horrible arguing, however, something this drastic does stick on some people's minds and may give the impression to some that this is how "pro-lifers" are.

Also, whenever someone hears the term "pro-life", it gives the impression that takes a stance of furthering, bettering and helping human life, not going around killing people. Yes he may have in his mind saved numerous fetuses, however, it's not really a win for him. If anything, it's a loss overall.

Re: Gunman Kills Abortion Doctor
 

Well I don't agree with killing the doctor because he was doing a job he was paid to do.

Re: Gunman Kills Abortion Doctor
 

lol, just playing devil's advocate...
What if he were volunteering?

Re: Gunman Kills Abortion Doctor
 

What a stupid crime. He's not accomplishing anything by shooting a doctor, he's just adding to the problem and making himself look bad. In his head he believed he was saving lives, but he didn't take into account that there are plenty of other doctors out there who will take the dead doctor's place.

For the record, I'm pro-choice. Especially in cases where the mother's life is in danger, abortion should be an option.

Re: Gunman Kills Abortion Doctor
 

I seriously doubt that situation has or will ever happen.

Re: Gunman Kills Abortion Doctor
 

I am strongly pro choice. All that man has done is made everyone who is pro life seem crazy, killed a doctor, and earned himself a long prison sentence.

Re: Gunman Kills Abortion Doctor
 

I just really really hope that people aren't going to judge all pro-lifers by what this psychopath has done.

Re: Gunman Kills Abortion Doctor
 

I think that even though what the man did was extremely awful and terrible, it's important to consider something that makes this man a human: he was only doing what he thought was the right thing to do. Not that it DOES make it right, but that is often the driving force behind people who do atrocious things -- it does not make that person a despicable being.

Re: Gunman Kills Abortion Doctor
 

I'm sure Hitler thought he was doing the right thing when he ordered the deaths of at least 6 million Jews too, however that does NOT make him any less of a psychopath, or any more right.

Re: Gunman Kills Abortion Doctor
 

Peoples actions make them despicable. It's not a "only if..." But I think if you kill someone, especially as being a hypocrite, then it's not right. And I think this man is worse than despicable, no matter the reason.

Re: Gunman Kills Abortion Doctor
 

Unfortunately, a lot probably will.
