Spare me

Right wing pundits are apoplectic about the idiot who threatened to kill Supreme Court Justice Kavanaugh. No one would call his action well advised. But why the selective indignation? Obama, Hillary and Biden are similarly threatened with regularity and you don't see liberals fanning themselves on their fainting couches.

Dr. George Tiller
Did they get their panties in a similar wad when Kansas abortion provider Dr. George Tiller was murdered or when Alice Hawthorne was killed by anti abortion crusader and mad bomber Eric Rudolph? 

Of course not. How about murders committed by anti abortion zealots James Kopp, Paul Jennings Hill, Scott Roeder, Michael F. Griffin or Peter James Knight?

Anti abortion violence goes on with regularity and its crickets with certain people but a justice gets threatened and the sky is suddenly falling. At least eleven anti abortion murders occurred in the United States since 1990, as well as 41 bombings and 173 arsons at clinics since 1977.

Real violence. Not empty, idle threats. But by all means, continue to allow yourself to be distracted and manipulated by the bright and shiny objects. After all, you are always the real victim.

Again, how does abortion (a subtraction) advance civilization? Hmmmm?

How about it won't force unfit parents who have no business having kids to carry fetuses to term? Or the ones knocked up by kin and rapists.
