Yes, because he was martyred. Other abortionists will pick up the slack, if out of reverence to their hero, if nothing else. The political strength of the abortion industry is stronger than it was a week ago. The prolife and conservative movements are weaker than a week ago.
Also, I've had to face the sad reality that, according to posts here, the number of people I associate myself with politically that would actually cheer and justify a murder, because their too damn stupid to see the big picture, is a lot larger than I thought it was.
Where did this shifting poll get taken?
It looks like your main objection is that you believe that the comments here are politically inexpedient, which is a matter of political judgment. History teaches that wherever it is practiced, murder makes a government popular with its people, unless there are moral objections. This is because governments that murder are perceived as powerful, and, as Henry Kissinger has noted, 'Power is the greatest aphrodisiac'. In America today, among the governing class and its supporters, morality is simply not a motivating force. They are drawn to death as they are drawn to Obama, for the same reason. This is only one of the reason that the people of this country have become so contemptible. To appeal to a contemptible people, sometimes you must use contemptible means.
