It resulted in the death of 3 people, 1 of them a cop. Being against abortion myself I just want to reiterate that pro life does not end after birth. The point of being pro life is to believe that ALL life is sacred. What this man did was heinous, and if he is anti abortion, hypocritical on top of that. Robert Lewis Dear, you are not on my side.
Condolences to the families.

What is it with yanks and wanting to label people as either "pro choice" or "pro life"? It's like they believe that only extremes exist.
What gets me though is the way that yanks somehow think that the rest of world shares their narrow-minded world-views. Don't get me wrong, I don't mean you specifically, I just mean this whole debate about having labels and expecting people to side either with "pro choice" or with "pro life".
What's really pathetic is the way that both sides tend to daemonize unplanned pregnancies, but especially-so for the pro-choice movement. There's nothing wrong with unplanned pregnancies being carried to full term, many many people do it. I know one lady who had four kids - they're all adults now and she told me they were all unplanned. So when they talk about reducing the number of unplanned pregnancies what they really mean is unplanned pregnancies in people who are not ready (and won't be ready) for a baby, but for everyone else it isn't a problem.

"That's disgusting. There were clean athletes out there that have had their whole careers ruined by people like Lance Armstrong who just bended thoughts to fit their circumstances. He didn't look up cheating because he wanted to stop, he wanted to justify what he was doing and to keep that continuing on." - Nicole Cooke
