Father Z is May 31, 2009 06:01PM horrified by the murder of the infamous late-term abortionist Tiller. There will be horrific blowback against the pro-life movement.
MrsC(Carleigh) May 31, 2009 06:07PM They don't seem to have a suspect yet. The pro-life movement is not responsible, an individual is. Hopefully, time will inform us about
MrsC(Carleigh) May 31, 2009 06:08PM that individual. I will pray until then that the individual was not radicallized by a group and pray that no one takes responsibility for
MrsC(Carleigh) May 31, 2009 06:08PM him/her in the name of pro-life advocacy. If they do, they are d*mned by their own actions. It's sad sad sad.
JoyfulMom7 says May 31, 2009 06:10PM MsC: "The pro-life movement is not responsible, an individual is." - very good point
MakeMeaSpark May 31, 2009 06:35PM NO it doesn't AHM--make the news--mold the news!!! PRO-Lifers Speak out against killing!

MrsC(Carleigh) May 31, 2009 06:40PM talking points Sparks. Spreading them is a good way to insulate the pro-life movement from media bias, b/c the media will pick up the
MrsC(Carleigh) May 31, 2009 06:41PM message if it catches. The key is mass propagation. Same sort of pre-emptive press that every political entity must engage in to survive
almostholymoly May 31, 2009 06:44PM some big names need to speak out against. Else the media is unlikely to pick up the message.
almostholymoly May 31, 2009 06:52PM we had a groundswell of opposition over expenses claimed by parliamentarians which got on a roll
