But they expressed concern that abortion-rights activists would use the occasion to brand the entire anti-abortion movement as extremist.They also worried that there would now be an effort to stifle anti-abortion viewpoints during questioning of Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor. Her exact views on abortion aren't known, but conservatives fear she supports abortion rights.According to the National Abortion Federation, Tiller was the eighth U.S. abortion provider murdered since 1977, and 17 others had been targeted with attempted murder.Read more: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090531/ap_on_re_us/us_tiller_reaction_2

"...use the occasion to brand the entire anti-abortion movement as extremist." They aren't? Are they saying there are "moderate" anti-abortionists? Centrism comes to "pro-lifers?"How can you seek to deny someone a Constitutionally-protected right and be considered "moderate?" Or "centrist?" How can you deny an infant the right to life and still consider yourself moderate, centrist, anti-extreme?..............Tangerine LaBamba (1000+ posts) Sun May-31-09 05:51 PMResponse to Original message 8. They murdered a law-abiding man, who was doing his job because his job didn't jibe with their religious beliefs.How do these people differ from Al Qaeda, and why aren't we hunting them down and throwing them into Gitmo? ............TankLV (1000+ posts) Sun May-31-09 06:00 PMResponse to Original message 12.
