30,000 FANS VISIT PRESELEY’S GRAVE<\/p>\n
Is was the 20th anniversary of Elvis\u2019s death on 16 August, 1977. Among those fans present at the candlelight vigil outside Graceland were Sheryl (41) and Libby (43) from Baton Rouge. They say a visit there helps them \u201cbond with other Elvis fans.\u201d Yes, \u201cIt rejuvenates us for the rest of the year,\u201d said Libby. <\/p>\n
But it is anti-abortionists who hold prayer vigils outside houses of childslaughter who are the crazies.<\/p>\n
TILLER AND POL POT<\/p>\n
In the Suffolk Superior Court on 22 October, Judge Carol Ball ordered adulterer David Smith to go to jail for 2 \u00bd years for plotting to murder his child by contracting an undercover policeman to shoot his mistress in the stomach (Boston Globe, 23 Oct.).<\/p>\n
In the meantime, Shelley Shannon sits in a cramped state penitentiary (converted from a country jail), designed for short term detention), doing an aggregate 31 years for blowing up a few childslaugher houses and winging Tiller the Killer in his elbows with a small hand gun.<\/p>\n
Abortionist Tiller, meanwhile, has been giving lectures at his abortuary to Kansas legislators informing them of the kindness of his service to women who suffer from the misery of carrying deformed children and decide belatedly to have them put to death.<\/p>\n
Traci Karl in the AP report says that Tiller commits \u201cabout 3,000 abortions . . . each year, 200 to 250 of which are for fetal abnormalities\u201d (7 Oct.)<\/p>\n
Tiller specializes in killing the more developed babies, a deed known as \u201clate-term abortion.\u201d And he makes a kindly effort to sanitize his deeds and soothe consciences of those who contract him to commit the crime. Karl reports: \u201cThe family can choose to have the baby cremated at the clinic\u2019s crematorium or have the baby buried. The mother can hold the dead baby after the procedure, have it baptized or take pictures of the family with the fetus, all to help her and relatives deal with the loss.\u201d<\/p>\n
Such a thoughtfully cold-blooded killer. We don\u2019t know if he was advised by his pastor at the de facto apostate Reformation Lutheran Church (ELCA) or not. <\/p>\n
He really is a nice guy. He reminds us of Pol Pot, who, in a recent interview – his first in more than 18 years – said to Nate Thayer, \u201cYou can look at me: Am I a savage person? My conscience is clear\u201d (AP, 22 Oct).<\/p>\n
Neither Tiller nor Pol Pot are savages in their own eyes. But only Tiller has the abortion-rights-loving American public fooled.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
