Thought for the day

[lazarus corporation]

Wouldn't it be good if nutty fundamentalist christians stopped blowing up people going in to abortion clinics and started blowing up people going into right-to-die suicide clinics.

Now that you mention it, why don't they become suicide bombers like the turbo-muslims, but avoid collateral damage out off christian brotherly love?
-That's a promissing approach, innit?

There is a big difference though in killing yourself and killing an unborn baby.
I kind of miss the point of the "thought"... Explanations welcome (it has been a long Sunday, by the way).

By the way have their been people killed outside abortion clinics?

It's an exercise in irony.

That I understood, but was there a basis to this irony?

That word doesn't mean what you think it means.

It actually means 'a bit metallish'.

IZ.

If you mean "what prompted it" then that would be the current debate on assisted suicide (and the forthcoming legal ruling in the UK) and the attempts of certain extremist religious groups to enforce their own religious beliefs on the rest of the country. From that basis, and presuming an easing of the legal restrictions on assisted suicide, the next step is conjecture of the form of protest taken by said extremist religious groups, based on their prior actions in similar situations where the secular law doesn't agree with what's written in their particular religious text (and, further, their interpretation of said text).

Some things lose a lot when you have to explain them.

Did anyone get blown up going for an abortion in Britain? If not then I don't get it, if they did then I've just pissed myself...

No idea about any deaths in the UK. But doctors who have performed abortions in the US have certainly been killed by fundamentalists who are protecting "the right to life". Such fundamentalists are certainly growing in number in the UK (or at least becoming more vocal and extreme).

it always get me angry what gov./country can do to persuade you to live here, for exmpl here, in Poland, you can get to bedlam if tried ineffectively. the question is: why? do someon who tired suicide harm anyone else, of course besides his familly friends - if he/she have them ?
the other question is a point of commiting suicide but that question for other not~so~small thread.

and you, LC, talking about something that might happen but not happened so far. but still even if i take a irony of your post - on internet is not so "visble" that on real life - it's a bit of overshoot examples/comparison, imo.
