Normal discourse has resumed following the lawless shooting and murders perpetrated in a Planned Parenthood office in Colorado. All that incendiary rhetoric by anti-abortion fanatics has allegedly driven a man to do evil things. Anti-abortion advocates are ultimately responsible.
We will cite entertainer Bette Midler as representative of this kind of inane discourse:
“Thanks to overheated screeds spewing from the mouths of the GOP, and in Congress, innocent people have died in CO, including a policeman,” Midler wrote.All heat and no light.
A more serious analysis of the murders that occurred at the Planned Parenthood venue would run something like this. Those who oppose abortion and advocate against it, want to see it outlawed in all forms. They ground their arguments on the principle that abortion is a murderous act. It always involves killing another human being.
Therefore, the anti-abortionist has principled, conscientious grounds strenuously and vehemently to condemn the murders committed by the Planned Parenthood shooter. Murder is murder is murder.
