Any Christian who claims they were working in the name of God is no different than a jihadist after their 72 virgins. Yes, thank you. Exactly. Which is why I personally believe there are christians and Christians. The lunatic who shot Dr. Tiller was one of the former. Religious fundamentalism in any faith drives me nigh batshit in a way few things can, because violence and hatred are not the point of any religion, anywhere.
And the thing about late term abortions is that they aren't legal unless there are severe medical problems with the fetus, or if carrying the pregnancy to term would cause extreme harm to the mother. But more importantly: who the fuck thinks that a woman who has carried a pregnancy for almost a year is going to wake up one morning and say, "You know what? I changed my mind." This is motherhood we're talking about, not that pair of $5 sweatpants you bought at Wal-Mart on a whim the other day.
