When George Tiller, the abortion provider, one the few who performed third trimestre abortions was killed earlier this year, it produced wall to wall coverage on CNN and the major media networks. This latest shooting was deemed immediately a local event, and barely rated a mention. That's the difference between being in favour of murdering babies, or being opposed. The latter, in the event that it makes you a target, makes you far less worthy of coverage.. or outrage.:roll:
If your whole argument is that murder is wrong and you murder someone to prove your point--well you really messed up your cause in ironic fashion.
If your whole argument is that a person should be able to choose and you get so enraged that you murder someone to prove your point--you are simply a nutcase. There is no irony, there is no hypocrisy, there is just a nutcase. It is just another murder.
Do I get bent out of shape everytime a Palestinian kills an Israeli or vice versa? No. People die all the time fighting for some cause. If their cause isn't, "Murder is wrong," there is nothing new about it.
For instance, although I personally would not do it and I think it would justify divorce, I see nothing morally wrong with having an affair. Thus when someone is caught having an affair, I just do not care. But if they went around yelling at people about how wrong it was to have an affair, then I care.
Of course there won't be the same type of coverage. Irony always deserves more than just another nutcase.
