Are you fücking crazy? You are really equating a medical doctor who provided one of the most unpleasant yet absolutely necessary services on this planet to women in desperate need for such a procedure with a pedophile? You are truly a despicable person! First of all, what Dr. Tiller did was legal, second: he did it for very good medical reasons, third: only if all other options were exhausted. We're not talking about that "omg, not another one, I better go to the abortionist to shave it away" kind of mindset, but life-threatening conditions for the mother, and, most of the time: new-borns not being able to survive on their own and without any chance of improving, like babies without heads or brains who would have died at birth anyway or in slightly better cases suffered through some excruciating days to weeks before being relieved.
Just for the record: I'm against any late-term abortions in cases where neither of those conditions are met.
Late-term abortion is in most of those rare and extreme cases the most merciful treatment there is to alleviate human suffering. I don't get that kind of pseudo-"pro-life"
at all... You'd have rather prolonged and unnecessary agony than a quick merciful death. Just like having 100 starving children in some slum in SA is WAY better than allowing to use condoms.
Besides that: your statement "we arent talking about a packet of cells for stem cell research" sounds like you think abortions are performed to harvest stem cells! Well, you're WRONG. Stem cell researchers just emtpy the haz-mat trash-cans -figuratively speaking- at the abortions done anyway.
And, as others have pointed out: if that hideous act of violence doesn't constitute terrorism then nothing does! The difference between that and killing criminals is that the law would have penalized them anyway (if convicted), so you are acting as a vigilante, i.e. punishing them instead of the law! Terrorism by definition is an act of violence to push an agenda and to spread terror on people not directly responsible for the percieved evil.
