Soaps.com - MESSAGE BOARDS

What seems odd to me is all the people that kill abortion drs. are white men. As far as I know other than being pro life and demonstrating they have had no real personal experiences w/ abortion.
One of my husband's friends got a girl pregnant and they were planning to have the baby and get married, she had an abortion previously. She got scared and went to a clinic and had another. Fish was angry and he held her responsible not the Dr.. It took all he could do to keep his composer. This is a guy I normally think wouldn't hurt a fly but he wasn't even sure he wouldn't hurt her. But the Dr. never even entered the cross hairs.

these doctors provide many services for their patients, abortion is only a part of their practice, what if this moron had hit more people? dr. slepian was in his kitchen, what if one of his kids had been hit? what i find so interesting is, if they think it is ok in the eyes of God, why the he!! do they run

Dr. Tiller has been shot before...I believe in the arm. There are guards, security, etc. at his clinic. It makes sense that he'd be shot at church, from the perspective of the shooter. It is the optimal place to try & shoot someone, whether you have a specific target or just want to kill several people at once.

Churches & schools are often the sight of shootings b/c they are 'gun free' zones. Even people with a concealed carry permit cannot legally take a gun into a church or a school. If you are looking to shoot someone, or shoot a large number of people, the two places you are going to meet the least resistance are in a church or a school b/c law abiding citizens won't be carrying guns.

As far as why men are usually the ones who shoot abortion providers...I don't know exactly. In the whole abortion debate, where do men fit in? I would imagine it's a frightening thought that the mother of your child can legally abort the child without your consent. Of course, one solution is to not impregnate a woman unless you're aware of her stance on abortion, but that is not always a discussion that preceeds sex.

This poor guy nobody deserves to be gunned down in front of their family! This is truly sad I believe their are appropiate times for abortion. And that it is a womans choice to do what she feels is best.

this doctor committed no crimes, the shooter certainly did, and others could have been killed as well

Randal Terry presser on Dr. Tiller's murder says it's a setback for us: Let's get a beer and some spicy chicken wings

On a side note Ronald Reagan once said " I have noticed that all the people who are for abortion have already been born" He really was a smart man!! They have it as FLAIR on facebook!

bigtime....I saw your other posts after the one I quoted...my bad

bigtime...please read the post above

I saw it after I ansewred the last one! . Im sorry that my first post came across so harsh. I work a 12 hour o/n and then had to sit through a 3 hour mtg. I was really tired when I got home as you can see I wasn't on long yesterday(if you look through teh posts). I had heard about the shooting on the Today show while @ work. and when I came on when I got home to see if anyone had wrote acbout it. and it kind of struck me that while everyone was so upset over this crime no one seemed to phased by what his job is(was).
