BBC reports: Shot abortion doctor buried in US. Apparently an anti-abortionist, or so called pro-life propagator, shot a doctor who used to perform abortions. How can anyone anyone can call him- or her-self pro-life and then go shoot someone? Is the life of an unborn baby more valuable than a living person? How can they call themselves pro-life?
And that’s not it! They had the audacity of staging an anti-abortion demonstration at his funeral! First they murder him and then when his family and friends grieve for him, they turn up with their pickets to demonstrate a political issue! How dare they? Do they even know the meaning of life that they are so determined to protect? How dare they show up at his funeral to protest?
Most of us have lost a loved one at some point in our life. Dealing with that kind of 
loss is one of the most difficult thing to do. At that time, instead of apologizing for being the cause of their grievance, how can they come over and protest? Am I the only one who finds this appalling?
P.S.: 1. I know the news about shooting is old but the news of protest at his funeral simply disgusted me.
2. I am not taking sides in the debate of pro-life or pro-choice. Simply reacting to the outrageous news.
I saw a documentary on the ABC last year where something similar was shown. The justification made by a Catholic priest on behalf of the murderer was that he was doing God's work.
ReplyDeleteSo I think that's how a pro-life person would justify taking someone's life.
In short, it's appalling. And that's a mild way of putting it.
So now God wants us to murder people? Jesus must be squirming in his grave.
