Your post #45 makes sense. It sounds compassionate, moral and ethical. I agree with it. In other posts where you go into your "she deserves to die" mode you lose me. I'm not here to hammer you for taking that POV but I tried to make my own POV about it clear. I disagree with the harshness of your POV in the way that you have stated it. Perhaps your posts haven't given a full and clear reflection of how you really feel.

Your position does become a little clearer where you tie your disdain for this woman/situation to the idea that she is some kind of masthead in the making for the Pro-Life cause. I agree with wagglebee that, at least most of us here, are interested in her personal welfare as regards her specifically. The individual is really always the bottom line for any sincere Pro Lifer. The cause is only the means to secure the right to life in the face of governmental failure to do its Constitutional duty.

Unless I'm seated on a jury to determine guilt or innocence in a criminal matter with potential capital punishment then deciding who deserves to die for their actions is beyond my pay grade. Self defense would be another exception to that. I love hyperbole but I try not to use it where the ongoing conversation involves sincere concerns over matters of life and death. If we were talking of jihadis I would relax that standard a lot. But not my true bottomline regarding life. Context is everything.

------------------------

FWIW, wagglebee, IMHO Balding_Eagle kicked your butt, and all those who opposed him, on that other thread you brought up. My take is that you and others simply refused to acknowledge the point he was making. I don't see it helping you here. As I said; just MHO.

This isn’t going to help my case, or me, one bit.

In going back and reading my post 45, and then going down stream from that, I see I was challenged to actually read the article. I did so, and saw the bit about the heroin.

That changed my mind about my otherwise assumed innocence of this woman.

I stand by what I’ve said up thread and by my conviction that she is receiving justice even as I type this.
