I read it.  It was incredible.

What strikes me is the number of people who are against abortion who go to him.  It's amazing how prolifers can say... "BAN ABORTION... Unless I need one"...

His story just drives home the hypocrisy of those self-righteous prigs.

And who, in your esteemed opinion, provides a 'reliable source of truth', Faith?  Hannity? Beck? O'Really? or that 'reliable' source of truth about drugs and lies, Rush Limbaugh?

Oh, wait, don't tell me, let me guess.  You put your whole faith in JAY-sus and his ministers.

this is an incredible article.  I hope everyone will read it.

Esquire magazine? Not exactly a reliable source of truth. A trashy magazine that promotes drugs and lies.

Did you READ the article?   Obviously NOT because if you had you would know that your comment was COMPLETELY uninformed, and made you look like a silly child in a snit.  You don't know at all what the article was about.  So, here's a thought... Don't criticize what you have zero knowledge about.

It isn't an article about changing anything.  It's simply following and talking to this doctor, his family, and his employess...  VERY christian of you.. well, actually TYPICALLY pro-life of you to condemn with NO KNOWLEDGE of what you are speaking.

Or are your "christian" values such that you believe he's not human?  Or, are you afraid you won't be able to make blanket generalizations about people if you actually LEARN something?

I found it fascinating that his wife loves him with all her heart, even though she refused to have an abortion years ago when her doctors found out her child was going to have major problems all his life.  She supports him and what he does.

His FAMILY has US Marshalls guarding them because of ignorant asses who know nothing and still cast judgment, and sentence on a man simply providing a vital, life saving service.

Figures.  So, the answer is "No, I can't comment on the topic because I'm completely ignorant of the whole article."

The interview with his mom was very nice.   I don't see how something could be biased... I didn't see any pro-anything.  But then I'm not a hate filled person who does not care that a 92 year old woman who has never harmed anyone has to have US Marshalls guarding her because the right wingnut idiots would gladly harm her if they couldn't get to her son.

That's a fine bunch you identify with...  Disgusting.

Faith, did you even bother to read the article?

If so, what exactly do you think is untrue or unreliable about it?

I stopped reading the article after the first page. I'm not wasting my time reading biased articles from trashy tabloid magazines.

"Tabloid" magazine? --Esquire?  Way off base.  Way off topic too since the point isn't about "which" magazine the article "about" the doctor was published in.  No, the point was about "the" doctor himself and "what" and "why" he "does" what he does and the "duress" he has to "endure" under the rabid factions of the PLM.

Well TM, there is that old adage ya know.
They say that "ignorance is bliss."

Faith << I do not identify with their methods of violence. I do identify with their stance against the "doctors" who slaughter innocent defenseless babies in the womb....Disgusting.

Your emotionalism is overreaching.  Perhaps had you did take the time to read the whole article, you would have heard from a couple who had to see Dr. Hern because Dr. Tiller was "murdered" by some radical PLer who is against the freedom of choice.
You would have then known that real-life tends to throw us curve balls that we have to deal with in the best way possible.
But I'm sure you still would insist that the woman would have to give birth.

And no, ignorance is not bliss.  Ignorance can be dangerous.
