QuoteWhoever murdered George Tiller has done a gravely wicked thing. The evil of this action is in no way diminished by the blood George Tiller had on his own hands. No private individual had the right to execute judgment against him. We are a nation of laws. Lawless violence breeds only more lawless violence. Rightly or wrongly, George Tilller was acquitted by a jury of his peers. "Vengeance is mine, says the Lord." For the sake of justice and right, the perpetrator of this evil deed must be prosecuted, convicted, and punished. By word and deed, let us teach that violence against abortionists is not the answer to the violence of abortion. Every human life is precious. George Tiller's life was precious. We do not teach the wrongness of taking human life by wrongfully taking a human life. Let our "weapons" in the fight to defend the lives of abortion's tiny victims, be chaste weapons of the spirit. — Robert P. George is McCormick Professor of Jurisprudence at Princeton University.

QuoteOriginally posted by: jawabeanyou condone terrorism?I would love to see copycats, as in vigilantes assassinating baby killers. How much can I help someone who apparently speaks English as a second language?So far as "condone" I am in no position to absolve or forgive any terrorists. I support politicians who allocate resources towards killing Al Qaida terrorists. You might as well ask me "Do you sentence criminals to probation?" No, I have never sentenced a criminal to probation. Do you imagine yourself as condoning total strangers? Do you read the National Enquirer and imagine you have a personal relationship with Julia Roberts?You must make a great programmer, javabean, who cannot distinguish between murder and terrorism, or use other common words correctly.I guess the best explanation I can give you is that unlike you, I actually think about things, rather than mimic a bad computer program. So when I see a banana on the ground, I don't start blathering stock phrases like "I eat apples. I condemn terrorists." If the guy in front of me slammed on his brakes, I would not ask "Do you stop while driving?" You are probably one of those thickheaded road-rage idiots who just blathers moronic phrases like "Fuckin' Drive Mothafukka!"

QuoteOriginally posted by: AnthisThen you had better condemn the Talibans of any religion...and their crimes too...Courts distinguish between murder and killing, between use and theft, between guilty and not guilty. But that does not stop me from knowing when someone drinking my beer is stealing, or when a killing is just, or when a God is the one true God.When a court sentences a man to die his death is not a murder. And when a rape victim fights back she is not committing battery. But nor is morality of an action determined by the actor. It is determined by the action and the situation of the action.It is a foolish nation who abandons the death penalty because they once considered being Jewish a crime. As if a nation cannot have confidence in its own capacity to distinguish between right and wrong. It is a simple mind that cannot come to the defense of the unborn for the same reason.

I am sure the doctor hasnt forced any woman to have an abortion. On the contrary, its his patients who were seeking his services. Demagogic flaires about the defense of the unborn are just so funny...

Quote It is a foolish nation who abandons the death penalty because they once considered being Jewish a crime. As if a nation cannot have confidence in its own capacity to distinguish between right and wrong. what utter nonesense - which country is this ? Quote When a court sentences a man to die his death is not a murder. and what if the man was innocent ? How many miscarriages of justice have there been ? Would that then not ocunt as murder ?Quote Courts distinguish between murder and killing, between use and theft, between guilty and not ..no they don't - they try to do so based on the evidence. they are not infallible nor are they immune from manipulation.
