[dotCommonweal] dotCommonweal » Blog Archive » Abortion and Murder, Again: UPDATE:  In response to a fair point in the comments below about the ambiguity of the point I was trying to make, I’ve modified this post to try to make clearer that I am not saying that believing abortion is murder mandates that you support killing abortionists.  But I do think it rules out a certain sort of moral reaction to such killings (i.e., the reaction that views them as intrinsically wrong in the way that murder is wrong).  This does not, of course, rule out the sort of regret we might feel even for those we kill under situations where that killing is justified.  Terry’s regret that Tiller died before he could repent seems to fall into that category, for example.

I can also mention hidden agendas at this point regarding why Sitaula is still there and who wants him there and what his relationships are with certain people but I choose to refrain from such an agenda as actions do speak louder than words, and Sitaula unfortunately has shown very little action in the right direction.

[MoJo Blog Posts: kevin drum] Obama on Torture | Mother Jones: These trading contacts bestowed unto the East Indian Trading Company increasing accumulations of enormous material and monetary wealth (by trading with India's merchant classes and with various members of both the Mughal and Vijayanagara Empires) in the early part of the 18th century.(14) However, during the mid- to late 18th century, agents of Britain's East Indian Trading Company not only demanded economic hegemony over India, but also demanded cultural, customary, and theological hegemony over India's numerous indigenous nonwestern imagined communities, their leaders, and their constituents. In other words, Britain expanded its original prime colonial focus in India from merely establishing economic hegemony over India's public worldly materialistic sphere by dominating and subjugating India for capitalist profit by exploitation to also establishing hegemony over India's nonwestern private social-spiritual sphere (familial, cultural, and spiritual).
