The author of this piece is using Kopp and his diehard fans that are ignoring the fact that he is an admitted murderer to smear the entire pro-life cause.

I have to admit that, "I was blind, but now I see," with respect to Mr. Kopp. It seemed to me that he was being railroaded, and I had commented in his favor in this forum several times. But I do not and can not support deliberate murder, even of the class of people that can perform this horrid act.

And I think that all true supporters of the pro-life cause must disavow Mr. Kopp and his misguided action, or we are no better than the abortionists we so despise. The crowd of Mr. Kopp's supporters ought to have been, not larger, but far smaller than it was - his immediate family, perhaps, but no others. We must not allow ourselves and our principles to be associated with this heinous act of murder.

The pro-life position must stand or fall on its moral foundations, not fear and intimidation.
