I read a short article about a small bomb that exploded at an abortion clinic in Wisconsin on Sunday. The article was short and to the point featuring a one paragraph conclusion by the blogger that clearly lets the reader know where she stands on the issue. When I read the comments I decided that I wanted to contribute to the conversation people were having. While there wasn't much of a disagreement going on in the comments, I still wanted to weigh in. Unfortunately, since it is my first post on the website it was sent off to be moderated before it will be posted for viewing and hopefully commenting. I will include the comment now.
People are entitled to their opinions, but where's the logic in this kind of an action? If the criminal(s) behind this attack had succeeded in burning down this clinic and killing all the doctors, nurses, and patients inside how many babies wouldn't be born as a result?
This is such an in-effective way to get your point across. All it does is force most people who are still on the fence about the issue to look at the pro-lifers as members of a radical group no matter if it was just someone acting alone. No one could ever bomb enough buildings or picket enough sidewalks to win a battle against personal freedoms in America. If someone wants to stop abortions then they should do it the only effective way, and that's increasing sexual education and contraceptive use.
I'm hoping that there isn't much argument in this class that is pro domestic terrorism but I do want and would love to read anyone's thoughts on this issue whether it's about a persons right to protest abortion or a pro-choice/pro-life comment. I really enjoy hearing other peoples opinions and their reasons behind them.
