I have been meaning to say something about the killing of Dr Tiller but I have not had the words to put out. Sure Keith Olbermann has his own agenda in his on-air battles with Bill O’Reilly, but that does not take away from the fact that his points have merit.
Abortion is never easy. It is prolly the hardest decision that any woman should have the misfortune of making. The Anti-Choice crowd has this thing of making it sound that women who have abortions go into it with the same emotion that you would make in deciding whether to drink a Coke or a Diet Coke. That is furthest from the truth. It is painful- physically and emotionally and minimising the pain that goes into making that decision is disgusting. And even more disgusting is that the majority of the loudest voices you hear in the Anti-Choice is by men – Who will NEVER have to physically go through it.
Abortion is more than soundbytes by people who have a political agenda. Either way or…… Give the woman the dignity of having a say in what goes on with her body. I have seen the pain of abortion so you shut the fuck up and tell me I dont know what I am talking about. It is not pretty, and stop trivialising it.
As Obama said, “Maybe we won’t agree on abortion, but we can still agree that this heart-wrenching decision for any woman is not made casually, it has both moral and spiritual dimensions.So let us work together to reduce the number of women seeking abortions, let’s reduce unintended pregnancies. Let’s make adoption more available. Let’s provide care and support for women who do carry their children to term. Let’s honor the conscience of those who disagree with abortion, and draft a sensible conscience clause, and make sure that all of our health care policies are grounded not only in sound science, but also in clear ethics, as well as respect for the equality of women.”
Despite the fact that alot of people have very strong different opinions on this issue. Dr Tiller did not deserve to be assasinated. Yesterday I was listening to jesus radio and the overwhelming sentiment was that the guy who killed Tiller was doing the work of God. Its shit like this that make me agnostic. Even more disgusting was that the talking head jerk-off with the microphone did not admonish this, and let on caller after caller to talk about how this assasination was justified…oh yeah this was all in God’s name. Really? Murder is murder is murder…… and before you start on me about the work of Dr Tiller, let me remind you…..He did NOT break any laws. That I can not say about the other guy.
