Tiller the martyred saint
I guess we’re all heroes and martyrs these days, well as long as we adhere to the Leftist doctrine (Washington Times link);
“This is about the loss of a man who was a saint and a martyr,” [Very Rev. Katherine Ragsdale, president of Episcopal Divinity School] said in an interview before the service. “He was a prayerful man who put his life at risk to protect others and died for it. People are in shock, outrage and mourning. They need a place to go.”
Ms. Ragsdale said she once visited Dr. Tiller’s clinic in Wichita to defend it from anti-abortion protests. She has been excoriated on conservative Web sites for a July 21, 2007, speech in Birmingham, Ala., where she called abortion “a blessing.”
Reconstructionist Rabbi Arthur Waskow of the Philadelphia-based Shalom Center said Dr. Tiller “joins the list of martyrs for ethical decency and human rights, killed for healing with compassion.”
The rabbi said Dr. Tiller was “a religious martyr in the fullest classical sense, killed in his own church as he arrived to worship, killed for acting in accord with his religious commitments and his moral and ethical choices.”
Like I said the other day, I think that what happened the other day to Dr. Tiller was terrible and his murderer should be punished to the extent that the law allows – but, Tiller was no saint. You can’t call his profession “moral and ethical” with a straight face. Oh, and how is the murder of innocent children “a blessing”?
But, this is proof that Leftism has become a religion of sorts – a morally bankrupt and intellectually vacant religion. The degree to which you accept Leftist doctrine into your life determines your station in life.

Two questions; first, WTF is a “Reconstructionist Rabbi”? If I take it at face value, that’s one old mofo…I’m guessing what, 1865 or so? Second, how does and abortionist square that whole “do no harm” oath shit? Just curious.
I think they say such things in order to feel better about themselves. It’s standard moral relativism, however, in this day and age, the left is more about reversing morals rather than making them relative.
They (the leftists) refer to Abortion as “Women’s Reproductive Health Issues” and other niceties.
It’s the same way that the killing of Jews, Gypsies, and others was referred to as “The Final Solution”.
Those folks know exactly what they are doing, but they don’t have the courage to state it plainly and simply.
Cowards. The lot of them.
I would have much preferred to see the doctor in prison and his clinic shut down. However, I’m not losing any sleep over his demise.
Karma.
“Leftism has become a religion of sorts – a morally bankrupt and intellectually vacant religion”.
Or, as a talk show host, banned in Britain says, “liberalism is a mental disease”.
Nowhere else can you twist facts, ignore realities and outright lie to make things fit the way you demand they fit.
For libs, up is down, night is day and black is white, and nothing anyone says can convince them otherwise.
