Pro-life extremists attack family of dead Marine

[iconoclastic cat]

This is truly disgusting.

Pro-Life group wrong in Marine's case

Staff Sgt. Chad Simon was laid to rest this week with full military honors, a hero who gave his life for us in Iraq.

Of course, the folks at Pro-Life Wisconsin couldn't resist taking a kick at his flag-draped coffin.

Three days after the Monona Marine's funeral, the Pro-Lifers put out a press release claiming that Simon was "murdered by those in charge of his medical care." Late Friday, under legal threat by the lawyers for the Don and Marilyn Anderson Hospicecare Center in Fitchburg, the Pro-Lifers backed off the murder charge.

Still, the Pro-Lifers warned that this could happen to you. Julie Grimstad of Pro-Life called Simon's health-care power of attorney document "signing your own suicide note. It may be legal, but it's most certainly immoral." (more)

My question: Okay, Pro-Lifers, then explain to me HOW THE WAR ITSELF IS NOT IMMORAL?

*crickets*

Yeah, that's what I thought.

2. And what if stem cells would have saved his life?

What about that, pro-lifers, huh?


It would make an interesting ethical discussion -- if the Marine's death was wrong, according to them, would they also oppose saving his life with the results of stem cell research?
