There will be much wailing and gnashing of teeth in Liberal Land when they read that paragraph!
Let me know if you'd like to be added to the Ann Coulter ping list.
The official Web page of the ELCA instructs: "A developing life in the womb does not have an absolute right to be born." As long as we're deciding who does and doesn't have an "absolute right to be born," who's to say late-term abortionists have an "absolute right" to live?

The only question left is, will God use the Chinese, Russians or muslims to judge our culture with.
Following the moral precepts of liberals, I believe the correct position is: If you don't believe in shooting abortionists, then don't shoot one.
I think I hear heads exploding...
If its wednesday night it must be time for an Ann Coulter column....plus the Red Sox are on tonight. Yes!
She thinks and talks like many of us, on this issue -—
Or maybe “great minds think alike!”
“I am against shooting abortionists, but I don't feel like I can impose my beliefs on others”
“I am pro-choice” on the subject of shooting abortionists.
Bump!
i’m sure the libs would never have a problem with the Tiller Killer being waterboarded and held indefintatley at Gitmo to find out if he is part of a larger domestic “terrorist” organization..........
“A developing life in the womb does not have an absolute right to be born.”
Oh...my...G-d...!
Kansas Democrats who received hundreds of thousands of campaign dollars from Tiller repeatedly intervened to block any interference with Tiller's abortion mill.So you can buy politicians.
Who'da thunk it
Well done, Annie.
If our Unborn don’t deserve every advantage at freedom then what the hell are we a free country for ?
I find mothers who have abortions just as guilty as the father who drives them to the clinic and the doctor who kills the child
Blood will be on their hands just as much if theyu had shot a bystander on the street !
Think I’m hsrsh ?
Oh well think what you want murder is murder and no supreme court should be able to tell you the divines plan for life...
The ELCA Social Statement on Abortion , adopted by the 1991 Churchwide Assembly, acknowledges the issue's complexity, noting that it "evokes strong and varied convictions about ... human life and responsibility, freedom and limits." The statement also offers useful guidance: "A developing life in the womb does not have an absolute right to be born, nor does a pregnant woman have an absolute right to terminate a pregnancy. The concern for both the life of the woman and the developing life in her womb expresses a common commitment to life."
A last resort
"The strong Christian presumption is to preserve and protect life," the statement says. "Abortion ought to be an option only of last resort. Therefore, as a church we seek to reduce the need to turn to abortion. ...We also deplore the circumstances that lead a woman to consider abortion as the best option available to her."
The statement adds: "The church recognizes that there can be sound reasons for ending a pregnancy through induced abortion." These are the threat to a woman's physical life; when pregnancy has resulted from rape, incest or sexual violence; and fetal abnormalities incompatible with life.
Basic faith convictions undergird the ELCA statement. Created in God's image, we see all of life as a mysterious, awesome gift. As a community of forgiven sinners, Christians are free to make just and caring choices. In fact, the statement says, "we have both the freedom and the obligation to engage in serious deliberation on moral matters." A compassionate community, praying and standing with those in struggle, is called neither to judge nor justify but to support people making difficult moral decisions.

I used to be a member of an ELCA church, although they fought the parent board on a lot of issues. Now I’m a Southern Baptist.
I love Ann Coulter.
Ann hits it out of the park.
This is what you call perspective and when you have perspective the truth is usually crystal clear!!!
Like always Ann hits it out of the ball park.
4,000 babies killed a day in the U.S. alone and somehow the left thinks that is perfectly fine. One lunatic shoots an abortionist who would kill a baby the day before it’s due date, and all hell breaks loose.
Interestingly enough I was watching Fr. Pavonne last night when I tivo’d Fr. Benedict’s Sunday Live on EWTN.
Fr. Pavonne said 22% of people responded that abortion should be allowed without absolutely no restrictions when asked in the latest Gallop poll.
It is estimated that 22-24% of the population is psychopathic. I should not have to explain the connection.
Go get’em, Ann.

Wow, this is one powerhouse article. The last few paragraphs are golden. I can already hear the liberals howling at the “hateful” exposure of their ghoulish baby-killing hypocrisy.
