1. Judge, jury
and executioner, you can only hope the alleged terrorists were not innocent and that they died quickly. Unfortunately the culture of life groups could give a rip about the circumstances of these deaths all that matters to them is if someone who is already brain dead is unplugged from their feeding tube or if an aborted fetus feels pain being sucked into a sink. Mostly what the culture of life cares about is if the embryo was conceived out of wedlock which in the end is what the extremist Islamics care about...that no woman should have any control over her reproductive rights and should be completely controlled by her surperiors...men. Why are they at odds? In another culture Alito could be a Cleric.
