"Abortion Doctor"
Yes, it's certain that Dr. Tiller went to med school to earn his degree in abortion doctoring! What is wrong with the media? Are they insane?

1. um, yes
The brilliant CNN just announced that a manhunt is on for the murderer. Who was arrested hours ago and for whom arrangements have already been made to be transported back to Wichita. Way to Go CNN!

4. Both CNN and MSNBC used the term.
Now I could be crazy, but I suspect...SUSPECT that Dr. Tiller may have been an OB/GYN.

Ya think? :shrug:

5. The headlines shown on Comcast.net say "Abortion Doc Tiller Shot Dead in Church"
That's your Liberal Media, hard at work.

3. Corporate Propagandists
It is a shitty time in history to be a "news" writer. The fourth estate is completely corrupt under the dominion of corporations.

7. This is ridiculous.
The collective ignorance of people who write for the media just astounds me. I'm now waiting for them to refer to him as a "partial birth abortion doctor"--another term that has no basis in medicine.

8. Nothing wrong with being an abortion doctor
or a late term abortion doctor. Don't help them villify these people by being embarrassed to say what they do.

10. I understand your point, but there is no such term in medicine,
just as there is no term called "partial birth abortion."


If they'd said "an OB/GYN who performed late-term abortions," I would have been OK with it. It's not a matter of what's politically correct or even true; it's an artificial term.

11. I understand your point
Edited on Sun May-31-09 05:24 PM by sandnsea
But maybe if we had been talking about all the medical intricacies of abortion, there would be an abortion specialist designation that would be respected. Like fertility specialists, etc.
