Excuse me, but how do you know that the posters here don't feel just as strong(if not moreso) about abortions?

Rather presumptious, and condescending on your part. Ya know, sometimes extreme pro-lifers can be extremely counterproductive.

Given the integrity and diligence of this site on the pro-life issues (save for Bush's decisions, perhaps), I just find it ludicrous that this story is in breaking news.

It's not so much a dig at the sensibilities of pro-lifers as it is a dig at rank emotion we lavish on cruelty and destruction of animals in contrast to the sort of sanguine Rationality we prefer to use when talking about Collateral Damage or the unborn.

At least Askel doesn't post things in ALL CAPS WITH LOTS OF EXCLAMATION POINTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I agree DES... the issues are not related, and attempts to link abortion to overt animal cruelty threads crosses the line to silly.

After all, it might as well be a 2A issue, eh Laz? After all, if our hero had a gun, she could have shot the b&st&rd and probably saved us a lot of grief from our kitty griller's future work.

Right on. I'm pro life...and find being accused of being rabidly pro-choice out of hand like that as insulting as being lumped in with PETA because I think deliberate torture is a BAD thing.
