What make Dr. Hiller's death more sad than any one of the other 45 people killed on the same day? What about the three policemen killed so far this month alone? They didn't even get a short line in the news.
Where's the concern for all of the others? Why should an abortionist's murder rate more concern than the rest of the murdered population? |
Thank-you Steve for the voice of reason. Although I don't want anybody murdered needlessly, the fuss over one abortionist, as compared to the people who protect us, is weird, to say the very least. . Also, I am not particularly fond of reading about comparing our brave men and woman in uniform, all over the world, to this tragic death of just one citizen.
PLease people, venting outrage over politicians is a tradition that spans the history of mankind. Indeed, it is expecting and encouraged as dissent is patriotic, according to whichever party is not currently in office.
To those who say they don't like the "rants"....well, there are plenty of forums to choose.. .
