I'm a pro-choice Conservative but there is a point in the process even I get uncomfortable. Some think birth control pills are murder...I think the first few weeks of a pregnancy makes a potential child but have not developed enough to consider it murder.
That's just me...I understand there is a lot of personal emotions which come out in this debate.

From what I've read, this doctor was performing abortions as permitted under the current laws of the state. If PRO-Lifers want to treat abortion as murder, they need to change the law. A legal abortion is not murder, and calling it murder (by party pundits, i.e. O'Reilly) only encourages acts like the horrific murder of this doctor.
I can't understand why this outspoken group is also against the widespread distribution of birth control. It seems counter-productive doesn't it? If there was less demand for abortions, then there would be less abortions.
