But why are those opposed sticking their nose in something that does not concern them?
Why are those that are so opposed not willing to take and raise the deformed, mentally challenged, and other unwanted babies? These should also not become a burden upon tax payers.
Dr Tiller was recently found not guilty of all charges against him.
NO ONE HAS THE RIGHT TO KILL A DOCTOR THAT IS PERFORMING A LEGAL PROCEDURE!
This is terrorism and those that support this are domestic terrorists
The WSJ used to be a decent paper until Murdoch took it over.It is almost like Fox news. Mostly unfair and unbalanced
The NYT is still the nations newspaper and is read all over the world.
It is one of the few newspapers left that still has good investigative reporters.
Just my $.02

Are you serious? Do you truly believe that the only reason people should care whether or not a child is murdered.. is if they think they may be personally forced to murder a child?
No one is forcing me to molest children either... but I care whether or not children are molested. No one is forcing me to beat people to death for being gay... but I care whether or not people are beaten to death for being gay.
Your "mind your own business" mentality is the exact type of mentality that allowed hundreds of thousands of Jewish men, women, and children to be slaughtered.
To you.. I would say... no one is forcing you to shoot anyone in front of a church. Why do you care if someone else does it?
As to the notion of taking and raising the children...
You have totally ignored the FACT that MOST of the late-term abortions this man performed were of PERFECTLY HEALTHY BABIES... as late as A WEEK BEFORE THEY WERE TO BE BORN. In your mind you have convinced yourself that no Dr would murder infants for money.
You cling to that fantasy in the face of undeniable proof... THE Dr.s OWN WORDS... because letting that argument go would either mean that
1. you have to admit you don't care if perfectly healthy babies are murdered in the last weeks of gestation... and that makes YOU a monster as well...
or
2. you will defend something you truly do not agree with in order to keep from having to admit you got into this debate having NO CLUE what in the heck you were talking about.
There is a 5 year waiting list to adopt a baby in this country. Most childless couples would adopt 2 or 3 given the opportunity.
The only people these babies are "unwanted" by are their mothers... but in America that is all it takes. A child who is unwanted by it's parents has no rights in this nation. Andrea Yates is PROOF of that. Had she drowned 5 of her NEIGHBORS children she would be on death row... but because they were her own children... Katie Couric started a defense fund for her and she was found NOT GUILTY of the act of drowning her children by reason of insanity. She spent 1 year in a high security mental hospital before she was moved to where she is now... an adult playground... where 3 years after sitting in court for murdering all five of her children.... she sits waiting for release.
"Yates filled the family bathtub and drowned her three youngest sons, Luke, Paul and John. She placed their bodies next to each other on a bed, placing an arm of each boy over another. The infant, Mary, had been in the bathroom in her bassinet, crying. She became the fourth victim. When her eldest, Noah, entered the room, Mary's body was still in the bathtub; after asking his mother what was wrong with Mary, he attempted to flee. Yates caught him and drowned him next to Mary. Yates took Mary into the other room, laid her next to the first three, and covered all four with a sheet. Noah was left in the tub.
Yates called 9-1-1 and calmly asked for a police officer to come, asking for an ambulance only after it was suggested by the operator. She then called her husband at work, ordering him to come home. Russell pressed her until she told him she had hurt the children. When Russell rushed home, he found police and medical personnel had already surrounded his house.
Russell was kept waiting outside for five hours as the medical examiner processed the children's bodies.
Yates received the officers at the door, telling them she had just killed her children. She led them to the master bedroom where they found the four youngest children covered with a sheet, lying face up on the bed, eyes still open. Noah was discovered by another officer face down in the bathtub. Yates calmly explained what she had done, and offered no resistance to the officers as she was led away."
But ya... those were unwanted children.. so who gives a crap. Right?
In Brazil they allow law enforcement officers to murder homeless street kids without legal consequence. They consider it to be a service to the country. I guess you have no problem with that either.
Seriously... these babies were about to be born. It was no more physical or mental strain on the mother to have the baby than it was to have the abortion. These babies were killed for being unloved by their mothers. Is that the kind of nation YOU want to live in?
