The is no ambiguity in this only moral certitude. <br /><br />Of course, this attitude does not reflect the rule of law that O'Reilly discussed. This attitude circumvents the rule of law and allows the murder of Tiller to have a moral legitimacy. <br /><br />For O'Reilly and others in the pro-life movement, women have rights up until a point and that point rests at a very low threshold. If someone attempts to expand that threshold, then by any means necessary can individuals exert their authority to prevent women from enacting their rights.solonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05929873120291212602noreply@blogger.com
