Agreed. I’m just curious why anyone would think the murder of Tiller is somehow even worse than the 60,000 murders Tiller committed.
Not worse, but illegal and for the time being abortion in legal in this country.
And when abortion is made illegal abortionists and the women who seek abortions will be committing a crime.
“Agreed. I’m just curious why anyone would think the murder of Tiller is somehow even worse than the 60,000 murders Tiller committed.”
I have some ideas on that:
When one person is murdered, its a personal experience. When 10 die, its less so. When 3000 die, even less so (as the evidence mounts around you regarding how 9/11 is barely a footnote in how we conduct foreign policy, etc.)
There’s a reason why people who raise cattle don’t give cows names.
True story - I came home on leave and while at home, my dad asked me to slaughter the 4 chickens we had in a coop in the backyard. For a few years, they would take the eggs they’d lay to eat, but when both my brothers left home, they didn’t want them around any more.
I went out back, killed them first thing in the morning, gutted and plucked them, burnt the pinfeathers off, and brought them down to freeze them.
I went in asking my mom to fry the one I brought in that I wanted to eat that night. My mom wouldn’t do it. Couldn’t do it. They were pets. They had personalities.
Not one night later, we bought KFC and ate it with nary a thought about the fact I had thrown all four of those birds in a pit and buried them the day before.
Not OK to kill and eat your own chickens, but its perfectly OK to eat somebody elses.
The more you slaughter, especially if you don’t know who you’re slaughtering, the easier slaughter becomes. 60,000 babies thrown into the incinerator in Tiller’s clinic? Might as well be 6,000,000. Stalin killed 20,000,000 of his own countrymen, and he’s lionized in Russia today.
If you have to kill, kill multitudes. Kill many. Killing one lands you in prison. Killing 60,000 earns you a heroes wake. Go big, or stay home. The bigger you go, the quicker you get rehabilitated by the historians.
Unit 721, that Japanese unit that performed live vivisections? They went on to become captains of industry, heads of universities, and chiefs of surgery in Japan.
Even serial killers don’t get it. You have to go more than 10 at least, or there will be no book deals, no prison proposals, nobody calling from Maury Povich.
I promise you this, when Haji finally takes out Denver with a nuke, Katy Couric will end up apologizing for him within the next three years. Mark my words.
