72. "I wouldn't kill an abortionist myself, but I wouldn't want to impose my moral values on others."
Edited on Tue Jun-09-09 03:09 PM by OmahaBlueDog
From Ann Coulter:

<<The official Web page of the ELCA instructs: "A developing life in the womb does not have an absolute right to be born." As long as we're deciding who does and doesn't have an "absolute right to be born," who's to say late-term abortionists have an "absolute right" to live?

I wouldn't kill an abortionist myself, but I wouldn't want to impose my moral values on others. No one is for shooting abortionists. But how will criminalizing men making difficult, often tragic, decisions be an effective means of achieving the goal of reducing the shootings of abortionists?

Following the moral precepts of liberals, I believe the correct position is: If you don't believe in shooting abortionists, then don't shoot one.>>

On edit: The woman hosting the afternoon show on the local Catholic radio station here in Omaha apparantly thought this was "very clever".
