Well, that's an interesting take on things.
Of course, abortion doctors wouldn't have any abortions to perform if it weren't for the women who seek abortions and sign on the dotted line for the procedure/murder (pick your term of choice) - and don't forget the boyfriends and husbands who go along with it, agree to it or - in some cases - encourage it.
If you consider abortion to be murder, surely you can't let the women and men involved in the pregnancy off the hook.
So, if you don't buy the argument that this is a private matter, a private decision to be made between a woman (and possibly her boyfriend/hubby) and her doctor, then do you think that churches should screen out women and men who have been involved in abortions?
Something tells me church attendance would be going down, down, down!!
(unless, like some, you're thinking only non-believers are having abortions, to which I'd have to respond with a big :1orglaugh:rofl::1orglaugh - thanks!
He was a practicing abortion doctor. That's a big difference between someone who gets raped once or has an abortion once in their life.
Oh, come on, Bloodshot, that's not a valid argument!
Please, can't ya give me something better than that??
You said:
"So this "doctor" was a church going "believer" yet he was doing this stuff? The church that allowed this man to be invloved in their affairs is shameless."
You were clearly questioning the church for allowing this man...well, look at your own words!
If abortion is murder, then clearly women who seek and pay to get abortions are active participants in the murder and thus you should be questioning churches for allowing those women "to be involved in their affairs" as well. Why won't you follow the logic where it should go? Are you going with some bizarre inverse of Stalin's notorious statement that "1 death is a tragedy, a million deaths is a statistic."??? - for you, it's thousands of murders are a tragedy, but any one of them is not worthy of concern??? Also, why do you cite the rape example? Plenty of women HAVE procured abortions for reasons entirely of their own, their pregnancies not the result of any crime at all. Also, there are plenty of women who have had multiple abortions.
What an absurd argument. So can we apply this to what is not contested to be murder, too? (Adults planning and executing killings of other adults, in advance?) Just doing it one time is okay, then??? So, only serial killers have really committed crimes? If it's actually okay for the woman "who gets raped once or has an abortion once in their life" then why wouldn't it be okay for the doctor who helps all of those individual women by providing the abortions for their once-in-a-lifetime post-rape abortions???
Try again, Bloodshot - please.
Anyway, here's a worthwhile article about one woman's late-term abortion:

Anyone else want to address the fact that this murder was an act of terrorism??
