Please be patient.
(Well, discount cialis discount not a patient getting an abortion, but you know what I meant.)

Hi folks, generic cialis clinic
This is the proposed blurb for the back cover of The Abortionist. What do you think? Would this persuade you to read the book?
Blogger and crime columnist Elliot Stearns was a Milwaukee homicide detective until a gunman’s bullet left him wheelchair-bound and emotionally crippled. The shooting cost him his legs, cialis sale help his fiancee, generic and his sense of purpose. Now, a year after the shooting, his best friend and ex-partner Jack Hartman needs his help. Dismembered corpses wrapped in black plastic bags are turning up in back allies in downtown Milwaukee. The murderer keeps changing his methods and his targets. Women of different ages, classes and colors are dying and now Elliot’s ex-fiancee, Caroline, may be in danger. Elliot’s only hope is to discover the killer and perhaps rediscover himself.
The Abortionist is a philosophical thriller that poses the question, ‚Äúwhat would happen if someone murdered adult women using the same techniques that abortionists use to end pregnancies?” The answer may challenge your beliefs or confirm your convictions, but either way you’re sure to decide that The Abortionist isn’t a choice, it’s a must-read.

Right at the end of a post about embyonic stem-cell research, cialis canada doctor Rick Esenberg at Shark and Shepherd says:
What is ironic is that the House killed a bill that would have expressed additional support for non-embryo destructive research. It’s almost as if the Dems want to start down that slippery slope.
Of course, search they do.
Most people’s self interest is much stronger than their abstract thinking.
If you can show average Americans that killing fetuses can actually cure their mothers, fathers, sons, and daughters, I guarantee most people will mentally reclassify unborn humans as nothing but a collection of useful stem cells.
And once that happens, the pro-life movement will have lost the fight forever.

When I was a child, generic cialis sovaldi sale my father would describe any act he considered to be morally repugnant with the most abhorrent word in his vocabulary:
“That’s an abortion, viagra buy sovaldi ” he would say.
Of course, abortion is no longer a dirty word; it’s simply a choice.
But today, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, there have been acts of murder so brutal, so hideous, as to warrant the rehabilitation of the word abortion as an indicator of atrocity. In fact, I suspect that the three latest and most gruesome murders in Milwaukee are abortions. Literally. I believe the three women killed in Milwaukee in the last month and a half, including feminist activist and writer Susan Powers, were murdered in ways that correspond closely to techniques used by abortionists.
Let me start with Ms. Powers and Mrs. Shriver. Their killer took them apart piece by piece. Two experts in abortion techniques agree that these murders resemble the results of a procedure known as a Dilatation & Evacuation. In this sort of abortion, a fetus is actually cut out of a woman’s womb using a pliers-like tool. Afterwards, a nurse is assigned the task of putting the tiny corpse back together to make sure there was nothing left inside the mother.
While the resemblance of Susan Powers’ and Lisa Shriver’s murders to an abortion could be pure coincidence, another murder committed in Milwaukee this past month provides even more disturbing evidence. The experts say that the body of the third victim, Tracy Wong, bears an uncanny resemblance to fetuses aborted through the use of an out-of-date technique called a saline abortion. In this procedure, fetuses were killed by injecting a concentrated salt solution into the amniotic fluid. The woman would then deliver a dead baby within a day or two. The aborted fetuses were sometimes referred to as candy apple babies due to the distinctive, red, glazed-looking appearance of the tissue left after the corrosive salt ate away the outer layer of skin.
So who is this “abortionist,” and why is he killing? Perhaps, like the men who shot Doctors Gunn and Britton, this killer is murdering for political purposes. More likely, he’s just some psychopath taking out his inability to deal with women by destroying them. I don’t know why he’s chosen such bizarre methods to kill these women, but I do know he hasn’t stopped. There are at least five ways to abort a fetus.
So far, he’s only tried two.

I once saw a pair of pruning shears snip through a padlock like a pair of blunt children’s scissors slicing through construction paper. At the time, viagra generic treat I remember wondering what those metal jaws could do if set against the bone and muscle of a human body.
This week, generic viagra I found out.
As you may have heard, someone in Milwaukee, Wisconsin used a pair of pruning shears or a tool very much like them to disassemble Ms. Susan Powers, prominent feminist author and lecturer, last Monday night.
The killer started at her toes. When he got to Ms. Powers’ ankles he changed tools. He went to work with a saw. It probably took six to seven minutes for him to make his way through both legs. Of course, by then she was certainly dead. But that didn’t stop the carnage. Next, he went after her knees with either a hatchet or an axe. And so on, as he reduced her body to its simplest components. Then he slung the garbage bags containing her ruined body over his shoulder and carried it to his car (or more probably a van) and drove it to a Milwaukee alley, where he tossed it unceremoniously into a Dumpster.
Why was Susan Powers the victim of such a savage and inexplicable attack?
Was it motivated by her feminism?
Or was her brutal murder related to a similar atrocity committed a month ago? People in Milwaukee will remember the dismembered body of 30-year-old mother Lisa Shriver discovered in another downtown Dumpster in July. Police now believe that the same man may have murdered both women and possibly a third.
Is a new psychopath stalking the same streets that Jeffery Dahmer once walked? Why did this killer choose these women? Did he know who Susan Powers was? Or did she simply fall victim to the same horrible bad luck that Mrs. Shriver did?
The Milwaukee police believe both women were abducted at one location and murdered at another. They are certain that neither woman was killed where she was found. Beyond this they have few clues. If a serial killer has begun harvesting the women of Milwaukee, he will be hideously difficult to catch. Police live and die by the old axiom that the majority of homicides are committed by someone the killer knows, but serial killers rarely know their victims personally. And unless they leave incriminating evidence or simply slip up, police say they are almost impossible to catch.
Let’s hope, for once, my friends at the police department are wrong.

Timothy from The Other Side Of My Mouth took a shot at rewriting the first chapter of The Abortionist.
Nicely evil.
