Doctor Killed for Giving Abortions

Shaft · #1 (**permalink**) 4th June 2009, 12:02 AM

A doctor was shot and killed in Kansas because he is one of the few remaining doctors in the US who perform late-term abortions. According to others who work with him, his patients are almost always women who have serious complications with pregnancy and their lives or the child's lives are at risk. This is not a place to discuss if abortion is right or not, but to only discuss this case.
Do you think he got what he deserved, or was this a tragedy?

For me, I believe this was a horrible crime, and I hope the person responsible is caught and sentenced to jail for as long as the law allows for crimes like this.

Crime, plain and simple.

Its a crime, but I'm glad he is dead. 60,000 abortions!

Justice, he was shot, was the gunman preforming an extreamly late abortion?

There are many medical reasons for late term abortions; it was not up to this murderer to decide the doctor should not have been performing them. If you can't win in the legislature, you can't win. Justice would this this murdering sicko getting the chair; the killing was an act of domestic terrorism, nothing less.

The courts of our land typically look down on cases of 271st trimester post-birth abortions.

Too soon?

I'd say shoot the person that shot the doctor. Of course then somebody would have to shoot the person that shot the person that shot the doctor... etc.
Until the last person has to shoot themselves.
Anybody got 7 billion bullets?

Probably the US...
But, no matter, I believe that it was a crime, and that the person reponsible should be given maximum sentence.

Murder is a crime no mater what your justification. My question has always been why do the same people that want to save the whales and everything else fight so hard to be able to abort unborn children.
