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.

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).Gollum's Cock wrote:That I understood, but was there a basis to this irony?lazarus corporation wrote:It's an exercise in irony.Gollum's Cock wrote:I kind of miss the point of the "thought"...

IZ.
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...lazarus corporation wrote: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.

Some things lose a lot when you have to explain them.
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).Gollum's Cock wrote:Did anyone get blown up going for an abortion in Britain?
