Given such reactions, I can't believe it when QandO writes:
Someone went unhinged and shot an abortionist. So what? I mean, it’s a terrible tragedy, but what does it tell us about…well…anything? What conclusions are we supposed to draw? It’s not like abortionists are getting bumped off on a regular basis. The last one of these that occured was 11 years ago, back in 1998. What lessons am I supposed to draw from the fact that some lunatic thinks God told him to kill an abortionist that are in any way substantively different than those I would derive when a crackpot kills his pharmacist because the Venusians sent him a command to do so via the transmitter secreted in his skull?If a crackpot kills his pharmacist, do you suppose there would be thousands of approving comments from right-wingers?
Obviously there's something different going on here. A sizable number of Christian fanatics actually approve of the murder of a physician in his church.
Klein and Kattenburg see this for what it is: political terrorism intended to reduce access to abortion.
