::::::: Compare your statistic to that for psychiatrists. Or emergency room doctors. And why would you even insist upon highlighting anomalous statistics from over a decade ago in an entry today? It's misleading in suggesting that the statistics are representative of today.--[[User:Aschlafly|Aschlafly]] 23:12, 23 February 2008 (EST)

:::::::: Here is the page content as I had it:
::::::::: An '''abortionist''' is one who performs (and profits from) [[abortion|abortions]].
::::::::: Abortionists are medical professionals who have periodically been the target of violent attack and even murder. In the [[United States]] seven people have died as a result of such attacks, including three doctors.
::::::::: == External links ==
::::::::: *[http://msnbc.com/modules/clinics/ Violence against abortion clinics]
::::::::: ==See Also==
::::::::: [[Abortion]]
::::::::: [[category:medicine]]
:::::::: You can see that I said "seven people have died as a result of such attacks, including three doctors". That seems pretty clear to me.
:::::::: As regards the Hippocratic oath, you said:
::::::::: "It's liberal spin to call abortionists "medical professionals." Often abortionists are people kicked off hospital staffs for incompetence, and the Hippocratic Oath prohibits abortion".
:::::::: I took your comment to be a criticism of abortionists for having taken the Hippocratic oath and then performing abortions. Exactly what is your point? They are medical doctors. They have taken the Hippocratic oath. And, according to Conservapedia's article you were wrong about the contents of the oath. Perhaps you can explain? But I would also be interested in getting the statistics that you are relying on for your assertion that abortionists are oftern people who have been "kicked off hospital staffs for incompetence". That's the sort of thing that probably should go in the article if it could be properly cited.
:::::::: Your suggestion that the violence against abortionists is irrelevant is very strange. The "anomalous statistics" that you talk about were people who were murdered based on the job that they were performing. The job that the article is supposed to be describing. If you are just interested in proganda then tell me. I will go and work on some other page (although I should probably steer clear of the Richard Dawkins page). But if you are genuinely interested in creating a decent article then how about including some accurate information about one of the striking aspects of this job - the fact that people have been murdered for doing it ''within'' the last ten years.
:::::::: Finally, I will see if I can find out if any psychiatrists have been killed ''for being psychiatrists'' or if many emergency room doctors have been killed ''for being emergency room doctors''. That would seem to be the proper basis for comparison. Unless you had something else in mind. --[[User:HMayo|HMayo]] 00:29, 24 February 2008 (EST)
