Dr. George Tiller: a physician who helped people in "desperate circumstances"(Freepers are "swill")

The murder over the weekend of Dr. George Tiller, one of a handful of physicians who performed late-term abortion, is an absolute tragedy. As Kristen wrote yesterday, many are in mourning and angry over this disgusting and hate-filled act.

This was an act of political aggression against a doctor who helped people who were in absolutely desperate circumstances:

Anti-choice activists often cast late-term abortions as the murder of a viable baby at the whim of a woman who doesn't wish to be inconvenienced, carried out by a doctor who looks at her and sees only cartoon dollar signs. They're egged on by relatively mainstream figures like Bill O'Reilly, who declared that Dr. Tiller "destroys fetuses for just about any reason right up until the birth date for $5,000." Such misinformation and outright lies about procedures that are in fact rare and only performed when medically necessary are what led anti-choice activists to call Tiller "America's Doctor of Death," and accuse him of running a "murder mill." The reality of what Dr. Tiller did, however -- helping women in absolutely desperate circumstances, when almost no one else would -- is what led one woman who had to terminate a wanted pregnancy because of a terrible late-term diagnosis to call the doctor and staff at his Women's Health Center "our heaven when we were living in hell."

This was a man who was treating patients in dire need of help. His cold-blooded murder for what looks like political and religious reasons is revolting. The justifications for his murder by the repugnant Randall Terry and the swill that is Free Republic are a stark reminder that the Americanized version of the Taliban are alive and well.

Carla is a warped woman. Notice that she refers to the anti-abortion, or pro-life people as “anti-choice”?

Don't tip-toe around we swill here at FR! Tell it like it is and use the word ABORTION Carla, you chicken-shit!

By the way, we should all ask her, “WHO “AXT” YOU FOR YOUR OPINION”?

Another reason to steer clear of Oregon...

“terrible late-term diagnosis”

Would you MSM wackos mind telling us the diagnosis in this probably imaginary case?

“Oh no! Our baby has SIX TOES on each foot! He’ll nevah make the track team at Haahvaahd! He is RUINED!/sarcam off

Then again, a pregnant Italian woman doctor discovered she had ovarian cancer and chose to refuse chemo which would have killed the baby. That takes courage!

[reagan_fanatic]

LOL!

Carla, you poor witless twit.

It constantly amazes me how bloodthirsty leftists in the pro-abortion crowd strain to justify the act of premeditated murder against an unborn child as merely a 'surgical procedure involving an unviable tissue mass', yet weep uncontrollably when some poor arctic seal gets its brains bashed in or a logging company lops down a tree with some poor spotted owl in it.

Your whole belief system is as rotten as raw hamburger left in the summer sun. Rather than hate you, instead I feel sorry for you. It is quite apparent that while some parts of your brain have developed normally over time, other parts have been starved of oxygen just a little too long.

Tiller was a cold-blooded killer of innocent human beings to small to protect themselves.

Deal with it.

>> Anti-choice activist ...

It’s not a choice, it’s a decision to kill.

Some things are beyond the pale of civilized discussion. Partial birth abortions are way, way, way, beyond anything I have ever heard even remotely discussed as moral.

I can’t bring myself to describe my revulsion for those who defend it.

[a fool in paradise]

We are all sinners. We are instructed to go forth and sin no more. He should be invited to seek redemption within a church.

To be greeted by this man on Sundays at the church (he was an usher volunteering) while he still ran his practice is an instance of the church validating his immoral (but legal) activities.

Apparently that's nothing but a lie. I think baby killers are swill.

Abortion is not about saving women’s lives!

Total Abortions since 1973

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

Why the drop after 1960? (in deaths of women from illegal abortions)

The reasons were new and better antibiotics, better surgery and the establishment of intensive care units in hospitals. This was in the face of a rising population. Between 1967 and 1970 sixteen states legalized abortion. In most it was limited, only for rape, incest and severe fetal handicap (life of mother was legal in all states). There were two big exceptions — California in 1967, and New York in 1970 allowed abortion on demand. Now look at the chart carefully.

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

Abortion Statistics - Decision to Have an Abortion (U.S.)

· 25.5% of women deciding to have an abortion want to postpone childbearing

· 21.3% of women cannot afford a baby

· 14.1% of women have a relationship issue or their partner does not want a child

· 12.2% of women are too young (their parents or others object to the pregnancy)

· 10.8% of women feel a child will disrupt their education or career

· 7.9% of women want no (more) children

· 3.3% of women have an abortion due to a risk to fetal health

2.8% of women have an abortion due to a risk to maternal health

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

So how many women’s lives have been saved by abortion?

Less than 3% of abortions since 1972 were reported to be “due to a risk to maternal health.” A reasonable person would recognize that not all of those cases represent a lethal risk. But let’s say they did. That means that nearly 45 million fetuses were butchered to save the lives of about 1.3 million women. Or put another way; 35 babies are killed to save each woman.

Abortion was legal in all 50 states prior to Roe v. Wade in cases of danger to the life of the woman.

and the swill that is Free Republic are a stark reminder that the Americanized version of the Taliban are alive and well.

Campion's Law!: "As a FR discussion lengthens, the probability of a libertarian or atheist FReeper comparing a Christian FReeper to al Qaeda or a Talibanic theocrat approaches one. Any FReeper who compares their opponent to al Queda or declares their oppenent an advocate of a "theocracy" has automatically lost that point of debate."

[Mashood]

If its so ethical, why aren’t there hundreds of doctors willing to perform infanticide and help these good women?
Why only two in the whole country?

Freepers are "swill"

#2. If one would be so desperate if they got pregnant, USE A CONDOM or some form of birth control. isn't chastity an option?

Put that aside, it is not the point. The point is, any slut can keep from getting pregnant if she and her partner simply use a little common sense. There is no reason, except for extremely rare cases of birth control failure, for a woman to get pregnant in today's society. The only ones I feel sorry for are the teens who have been lied to and taught that sex is just great, no matter how old you are and they are not taught real birth control. Get sex education out of our schools and back in the home where it belongs.

The only people in desperate circumstances as they pertain to Tiller were the thousands of babies he killed.

[a fool in paradise]

Abortion has been legal on demand in America for over 3 decades now.

How many babies have been killed by abortion in the United States since 1973?

How many women have died from botched legal abortions since 1973? It still happens.

How many women have become sterile from botched legal abortions since 1973?

How many doctors have operated unlicensed abortion clinics since 1973? It still happens in this country. Back alley abortionists never worked out of alleyways. They have offices today as well.

How many abortionists have performed illegal abortions on minors without reporting incidents of statutory rape and molestation to the authorities?

Are there any limitations on women seeking an abortion at any stage of pregnancy in any of the nations of Europe and other so called “advanced” countries?

The myths of safe-legal-rare abortions are exposed if you seek out these answers.

#2. If one would be so desperate if they got pregnant, USE A CONDOM or some form of birth control.

When liberals say "desperate" they don't mean desperate enough to break out a 75 cent condom. They mean desperate to get back to the party scene.

All the answers to your questions are in the post you were replying to.

[calex59]

I, for one, am proud to be FR swill! Let's all stand up and be heard for the freedom and life loving swill we are!

This woman and others like her are the real swill, murderers and criminals regardless of what the law says. That said, we all saw this coming didn't we? However, all these compassionate souls who are morning this so called "doctor" are strangely silent on the killing of one soldier and the wounding of another by a Muslim on American soil. Wonder why that is? What is really strange is the silence of the Republican leaders and why they are not pointing out the hypocrisy of our Bozo in chief when it comes to expressing sorrow for the newly killed.

I guess there were more than 60,000 women in “dire need of help”. Every one an emergency life and death situation. Yeah right. At least he died quickly with a couple of bullets instead of some one sticking forceps up into the back of his head and sucking his brain out.
