I am a avid supporter of the right to choose abortion. I am not sure if I could ever actually have one myself, but I believe that every woman in the US should have the freedom to make that decision. I support Dr. Carhart and his mission to ensure that women have a safe and legal alternative to giving birth.
What I do not understand about this issue is that the people who are avidly against abortion will go to any lengths to stop it, even if it means murdering the abortionist and harrassing clinic workers. Yet they use the belief that any killing is wrong to defend their anti-abortion stance. It seems to me that if they are against abortion they would also be against murder, however it is apparent with the murder of Dr. Tiller, that they don't have a problem murdering a doctor in his church.
It saddens me that Dr. Carhart has been named the number one target of Operation Rescue's murdering mafia. I wish that no matter what side of the issue people are on that they could back up and realize that the decision is very private and personal and they should respect that privacy. However, some people never grow up and make this realization.
