Dobson on the Murder of Tiller

[Perky]

Focus on the Family founder and chairman emeritis James C. Dobson, Ph.D., issued the following statement Sunday on the slaying of late-term abortionist George Tiller:

We are shocked by the murder of George Tiller, and we categorically condemn the act of vigilantism and violence that took his life. America has from its foundation respected the rule of law, by which every citizen is guaranteed life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Those constitutional rights are forfeited only when crimes have been committed, and the perpetrator is charged and found guilty by a jury of his or her peers in a court of law.

Tiller recently faced serious charges related to the killing of babies in violation of the law, by the most grotesque procedures administered without anesthetics or compassion. We profoundly regretted the outcome of his legal case, believing the doctor had the blood of countless babies on his hands. Nevertheless, he was acquitted by the court and declared "not guilty" in the eyes of the law. That is our system, and we honor it.

Our condolences are extended to the Tiller family. The person or persons responsible for his death should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

1. .....administered without anesthetics or compassion???

Is that why thousands of women, from all corners of the globe, in need of theraputic late term abortion care flocked to his clinic? What a load of horseshit.

Dobson is an ass. But that's not news.

15. He's not referring to anesthetics for the mother...

The baby. The mother doesn't count in his eyes.

17. Shows how much attention he pays--doesn't he watch those commercials

where they tell pregnant women not to smoke and drink, because the blood supply is shared with the foetus? If you get shitfaced, your baby gets shitfaced, those sorts of ads?

Good grief. He probably thinks the kid is housed in a little room inside the woman's "tummy," with a fold out couch and a tee vee.

2. These jerks always have to say BUT

self-serving assholes

[tularetom]

3. Of course he had to get in a semi graphic description of Tiller's activities

But actually his response is less weaselly than some of the "liberal media" who are still jumping backwards through their own assholes trying to make this into a situation where both sides have equal validity.

Except that "the person or persons responsible for his death" includes Dobson himself.

4. Good old Jimmy Dobson

Knows how to Parse things exactly right.

This was a horrible human being who tortured and killed babies, however we believe in the rule of law wink*

5. These "condolence" statements are CYA horseshit

6. That's EXACTLY what it is

And they're not fooling anyone. They are as complicit as the murderer who actually pulled the trigger, in my opinion.

They overreached, and this was the inevitable result. Actions have consequences.

[leftist.]

7. Just condemn it and STFU James, this is an easy one.

What is with the extreme right wing and hate radio crowds today that they can't just say "yeah what happened, that's pretty bad" and then stop and leave it without requiring conditions and caveats on their condolences.

8. If Tiller violated the law...

Then why the fuck did a jury ACQUIT him?

Typical projecting from the right. They know who really violated the law. Harassment, stalking, conspiracy, etc...

9. Screw Dobson and his fake apology!!

[LiberalFighter]

10. I want to know what Dobson considers to be the time period for America's foundation?

Because I doubt that the rule of law was really in effect prior to 1776.

11. let's see. how do you state your disappointment in murder without p!ssing off your followers?

Looks like Dobson the sleazy preacher/politician figured it out. What a sick fuck. I sure will regret if someone firebombs his church where they preach a Nazi style of hate toward their fellow man.

[Perky]

12. ummm he does does not have a church,

just his Focus on the Family Empire

[PretzelWarrior]

13. wow. amazing. he doesn't even preach. just has radio/tv/books.

nice deal if you can get it. I could have sworn he had some church or other religious headquarters in the Colorado Springs area.

[Perky]

14. Focus is based there but it is not a Church

[PatGund]

16. Dobson needs....

Dobson needs to go back to showing his sons his penis in the shower and leave everyone else alone.

[Clio the Leo]

18. Dobson needs Jesus .... and to learn to keep his mouth shut. NT

[bunkerbuster1]

19. You can't kick off soon enough to suit me, Dobson.

Asshole.

20. Why aren't anesthetics used for circumcision? n/t
