I can only conclude that you agree with murdering abortionists and blowing up clinics--and how do I come to this conclusion? Easy. You actually say gulags and extermination camps are not as bad a thing as abortion(patently silly, but let's go with it) and I know that any of us would feel empowered to stop an extermination camp where Jews or anyone else was being liquidated and we'd kill the death camp guards and whoever was doing the killing, right? So you approve of killing abortionists, you'd HAVE TO.

I work within the law, of course. I believe that abortionists - those who murder innocent children - should be prosecuted and sentenced within the law.

BTW, only a dunce would ever assert that most women who got abortions would kill a live baby(and most wouldn't abort a late-term) Yet you refuse to see that people perceive a difference between the unborn and born, whether you are moral in your approach it is a far different issue than Death camps, and you KNOW THAT.

Those who ran the death camps didn't FEEL that they were killing human beings, just Jews. They PERCEIVED a difference between Jew and non-Jew. They denied the humanity of the Jew, just as you deny the humanity (against all evidence) of the unborn child. They killed the Jews without guilt just as you allow the slaughter of children without guilt. The evil is not abated just because of how people "feel" or "perceive" the evil.

Stop making pretend it's anything like gulags, because it isn't. If it were, people would at least FEEL that way about it(even if they felt powerless to act), but they don't.

Stop rationalizing atrocity because of how you and others "feel" about it.

The response to Abortion is simply not irrational, nor is it "Talibanist," nor is it religous saber rattling for personal self-aggrandizements.

The issue is huge, and not going away, but merely increasing in its adherents. For the GOP to build a history of burnning bridges with Pro-lifer's on this, especially when they have a very real shot of at least mitigating it, would be very ill advised.
