I wonder how differently this fact will be interpreted by people who reacted to the Sikh murders.

What exactly are you asking, CS? Are you wondering if people won't care because this wasn't a Sikh?

What's your point? When a Christian doctor that performs abortions gets gunned down we don't need this type of time lag to discover intent.

I followed the trail of the photo by the url and that is a fetus at 17 weeks. That is five weeks past the abortion cut-off for 88% of abortions.
Sign me up for the next formal debate on abortion.
Meanwhile, lets get back onto A-Theist's important and timely topic which seems to have links to the recent vociferous attacks on Chick-fil-A by publically elected officials
using inflammatory language and claiming to speak for the majority.

Oh, please. Now you're all of a sudden the king of on-topic since your picture was found to be a misrepresentation of the situation? Furthermore, pointing out irrelevant links in a link in this thread is totally on-topic, dude. Blech.

Nope. I'm new here and still learning the rules.
You can be the queen, empress, dutchess, first lady, whatever, of on-topic / off-topic
I'm happy to argue the toss about whether 12 week embryos have fingers, toes, thumbs, feelings if you wanna make the 17 week / 12 week difference a thingy.

It is a thingy, whether you like it or not. I am also the first lady, but only by virtue of postdivorce, premarital sex. We don't have to argue about the difference between a 12-week and a 17-week fetus. We do have to acknowledge that you posted a 17-week-old fetus and touted it as an abortion victim.
Actual victim.

I wonder if the same people who blamed the Sikh murders on the murderer's (religious) ideology will blame these shootings on the shooter's (political) ideology.
And yes, if I had to guess I'd say that people on here wouldn't care much about a victim if the victim had the 'wrong' beliefs/opinions.
