Don't be ridiculous...

“The anti-abortion fanatics have to shut up and go home. They have to back off and they have to respect other people’s point of view. This is an outrage, this is a national outrage.” (Quoted by Fox News)

When I picked up on this quote by Dr. Warren Hern, one of the handful of later-term abortionists still practicing infanticide in the USA, on how “rhetoric” from pro-lifers caused Dr. Tiller’s death, I couldn't let it go. This is a most ridiculous statement. Anti-abortion protesters caused Dr. Tiller's death? Come on.

Peaceful protesters whose only aim is to wake America to the fact that innocent human life is being snuffed out immorally are not to blame for anyone's death.

One misguided man, Scott Roeder, without guidance from any truly pro-life organization, ended Dr. Tiller's life violently and illegally. There were witnesses to the murder in Reformation Lutheran's foyer. Roeder will stand trial and likely be judged guilty by the State of Kansas. You can't pin this crime on anyone but him.

Hern's statement makes an illogical leap from protesters to murderer. End of rant.
