1 day difference between life and death
George Tiller, who currently faces 19 criminal charges for performing illegal late-term abortions in Kansas, was caught on hidden tape admitting that he has performed abortions as close as one day before the mother’s delivery date.
Students for Life of America, a pro-life student group, recently released a video on YouTube with footage of Tiller’s comments during and after the Feminist Majority Foundation’s annual Women’s Leadership Conference held Mar. 9 at the National Education Association in Washington D.C. The video shows Tiller presenting graphic slide images of fetuses that were aborted for their fetal abnormalities.
“What is most disturbing about this video is the point when Dr. Tiller shows footage of children he has aborted,” SFLA director Kristan Hawkins, who taped the video with a colleague, told LifeNews.com.
“One had an extra arm: could not that child have survived and received corrective surgery? Was violently killing the child the only way to go?” she asked.
The crowd at the NEA event applauded Tiller’s presentation and Kathy Spillar, vice president of Feminist Majority Foundation, even commended the abortion practitioner’s acts as “courageous.”

[From me]
So let me get this straight. A “fetus” missed being a person by “1″ day! I know abortion is a hot button issue with so many. I still don’t know how anyone could kill an unborn baby. What kind of person could be in that line of work? What would you say at a party when you introduce yourself. Hi, my name is______ and I kill babies for a living.
What judge can make a decision as to when life begins. That is for God to decide. I’ve seen a man die before me. I take life seriously because God does. This is the problem with a world that doesn’t value life and the creator. We choose to live according to our sick minds. God help us all.
What do you think?

All judges. That’s their job. You might them to decide that life begins at conception, but fortunately, most judges consider professional opinions before ruling.
In this particular case, the question is not about when life begins as I understood your comment to imply. In this case, the Kansas Supreme Court judges will decide if George Tiller’s abortions, which were performed very late term, were illegal. Don’t you want the judges to make a decision in this case? Or are you suggesting that they throw out all abortion cases and let God decide?
A3,
I guess few care about this subject. I guess life is less important than who people sleep with.
Who gives a judge the right to decide when life begins?

To whom?
The constitution?
A3,
Do you trust people that much? What if the political climate changes? What do you base your values on? How do you know right from wrong? I’m not judging, I’m just curious. You are a nice, moral man but how do you base your decisions?

Kevin,
The short answer is that I trust people in certain ways and not in others. I trust society to act in a somewhat predictable way.
For me to live in this society, I have to agree to the social contract, to abide by its rules (even if I attempt to change the rules, I have to do it in an acceptable way). To the extent that I have to trust this society to agree to its social contract, I “trust but verify.”
I base my values on innate feelings. I know right from wrong based on the subset of innate feeling: feelings of morality, and also the ethics that those feelings of morality they inform. Thanks, you’re a nice man too
I base my decisions on the equal application of ethical thinking to both to myself and to others.
