Does it have to meet the threshold of criminal liability for it to be wrong?
If it was his opinion I was having a problem with, why would I? He's a Catholic. He's entitled to view a woman's right to choose whether she would carry a baby to term as something he is perfectly happy to interfere with and deny as a matter of his choice and his faith. After all he's not the one that would be made to carry to term. He has his rights to his opinion as do we all.
No, what I am taking issue with is his failure to take responsibility. To have the hubris to suggest - after his continuously bragging about his show's ratings, and about the reach of Fox programming - to then seek to shirk any accountability - pretending that he has clean hands after his amped up invective name calling of this Dr. Tiller by name - I'd say it's fair dinkum to take issue with his approach to taking responsibility.
A man is dead. Words have consequences. And apparently OReilly from the self proclaimed pinnacle of the news pyramid chooses to remain blind to any role that he might have played in stoking the rhetoric, specifically about this doctor, that now ends with his death.
