Johnny Grew Up To Kill The Abortion Doctor

Let’s see… life is sacred, because life is created by God and God is not to be interfered with by mere mortals; every life is as important as every other in the eyes of God….

How do people who profess that belief sanction killing another person?

Oh, it’s OK - and even a moral duty - to kill if the person killed doesn’t view the world in the same way?

The killer gets a pass from the higher authority of fanatical zealots who claim they know when it’s right to ignore God's will, even as they themselves understand it to be? The disjointed logic of their rollercoaster dementia will make you queasy.

Isn’t it like following Alice down the rabbit hole to say it’s ok to kill someone to protect the sanctity of human life? Or to maintain that only God can take a life and then, acting in his name, kill someone? Who appointed these people God's Vigilantes? Why, they did! And they think God told them to.

What, did God sort of take them aside one night into the shadows at the party? Put His arm around their shoulders and say "You trust me, right? And you know sometimes you just gotta do what ya gotta do, right? Well, I gotta do something, but I need your help. This is bigger than the both of us."?

Oh, I know what they say…better one abortion doctor be killed than allow him or her to kill hundreds of innocent babies. Frankly, Scarlett, I don’t give a damn for that argument. All it says to me is that these people think their own beliefs should rule everyone else.

Maybe medical science, including abortion, is God’s way of giving humanity Free Will.

People should have the right to act in accordance with their own beliefs, and struggle with their decisions the best they can.

And surely our society works best when no single group can hold others under the oppression of their Supreme Arrogance.
