Anne Coulter Wouldn't Shoot an Abortion Provider but "Doesn't Want to Impose Her Morals on Others"; When Pregnancy Is a Form of Partner Abuse; Mike Huckabee Says Common Ground Does Not Exist

Anne Coulter Wouldn’t Shoot an Abortion Provider but "Doesn’t Want to Impose Her Morals on Others"

As

always, Anne Coulter is spitting out any words that will get her some

media attention. This time, she justifies the murder of abortion

provider Dr. George Tiller, reports a Daily Kos article.

In her most recent column, in which she poses as a "Legal Correspondent," she wrote:

I wouldn’t kill an abortionist myself, but I wouldn’t want to impose my moral values on others.

No one is for shooting abortionists. But how will criminalizing men

making difficult, often tragic, decisions be an effective means of

achieving the goal of reducing the shootings of abortionists?

Following the moral precepts of liberals, I believe the correct

position is: If you don’t believe in shooting abortionists, then don’t

shoot one. Sex. Abortion. Parenthood. Power. The latest news, delivered straight to your inbox. SUBSCRIBE



Then

she appeared on Fox’s The O’Reilly Factor, where she said she did not

consider Tiller’s killing murder.

O’Reilly asked her to elaborate and

she said, "I am personally opposed to shooting abortionists, but I don’t want to impose my moral values on others."



On Alternet.org, Lynn Harris offers a groundbreaking analysis of the effect of dating violence on unintended teen pregnancy. According to the article,

many violence and public health experts say that abuse is not always in

the form of bruises, but instead in contraceptive sabotage that can end

in pregnancy. Harris tells the

story of a young girl named "Janey," who was in an abusive relationship

with a man who cheated on her, and raped her. After two pregnancies and

many STD’s, Janey told her boyfriend to move out, but he threatened her

with more violence.

Harris writes:



"Sexual coercion and "reproductive control," including contraceptive

sabotage, are a common, and devastating, facet of dating and domestic

abuse. A growing number of studies, experts and young women

themselves are testifying to boyfriends demanding unprotected sex,

lying about "pulling out," hiding or destroying birth control —

flushing pills down the toilet, say — and preventing (or, in some

cases, forcing) abortion. The implications for young women’s and public health are profound, among them unintended pregnancy,

miscarriage and STDs, including HIV. (Some STDs are cured easily — if

tested for and treated — while others can lead to chronic pelvic pain,

ectopic pregnancy, even infertility.) While this problem is not

brand-new, only now are we starting to understand its scope – and,

ideally, starting to learn from its consequences."

Harris

also cites a Boston-area study that found that 53 of 61 girls were in

abusive and sexually active relationships at the time they were

interviewed, and said 26 percent of the girls said their boyfriends

were "actively trying to get them pregnant by manipulating condom use, sabotaging birth control."

Mike Huckabee Says Common Ground Does Not Exist



When he appeared on the Daily Show with

Jon Stewart, former Republican presidential nominee Mike Huckabee said

there is no such thing as a common ground regarding the abortion

debate, a LifeNews.com article said.

According to the article, Huckabee said

"Abortion advocates don’t want to give an inch in the abortion

debate by accepting even modest limits on abortion such as parental

notification, which would allow parents to know when their daughters

are considering the life-altering."

When Stewart asked him to entertain the idea of common ground, Huckabee

said he would be willing to support efforts that truthfully reduce

abortions and don’t just give more money to abortion rights groups like

Planned Parenthood.

Stewart said he was in the "squishy middle" of the abortion debate.
