FUCK!

George Tiller shot dead walking out of church.Doctor George Tiller survived clinic bombings, being shot in both arms, and years of violent threats. Women would come to him from all across the country, as he was the one of the very few who would perform late-term abortions

May his memory be for a blessing, and his life an inspiration.

[neadods]

Especially the inspiration. There are so few who do what he did, and it's needed.

[persiflage_1]

Bastards!

[neadods]

It was a bit like the first few minutes of "Four Weddings and a Funeral" - all I could say was "Fuck! Fuck!"

And in a church! Yet we all know the killer is going to claim that God told him to do it.

I hate that kind of feeble-minded excuse for being a horrible person.

[spiralsheep]

Terrorism. Just sayin'.

[nemo_wistar]

Amen.

The T word is already being thrown around on blogs, but we need to get it out in the open and used in a court of law.

Mind you, Operation Rescue'll really wet themselves if they get labeled - legitimately, in my view - a terrorist sponsor.

[suricattus]

except they incite not terror, but a determined anger and a resolute spine.

Operation Rescue has worked for years through peaceful, legal means, and through the proper channels to see him brought to justice.

... WHUT. What the hell is this 'justice' bullshit? Did I blink and miss the US making abortions illegal?

Their statement actually makes me want to barf a little. Poor family :( This 'right to life' claim doesn't seem to make anyone hesitant to actually murder.

Only in their wet dreams. Despite all the terrorist attacks and the legal threats, Tiller kept on doing what he did because he knew it was legal, he was obeying all the petty laws put in his way, and women were desperate for his services. (I'm almost more offended by the group that's trying to pin the killing on a "post-abortion man or woman" than by Operation Rescue.

This 'right to life' claim doesn't seem to make anyone hesitant to actually murder.

A real big flaw right there.

*shakes head* In Norway, we don't even have an abortion debate, so some of these really rabid anti-abortion people in the US are so alien to me. I mean, I get why someone personally might not want to have an abortion, but what's with forcing your morality onto others here?

Not to mention if one really wants to limit the number of abotions, the most efficient way is just to ensure the dilemma doesn't come up. Birth control FTW.

[neadods]

what's with forcing your morality onto others here?... Birth control FTW.

Long story short, it goes kind of like this: Sex is evil. (Thank you, Puritans.) Under that: control access to birth control and abortion and bingo! You control women. It won't take much looking to find anti birth control arguments that outright say that women shouldn't be having sex if they aren't "prepared to take the consequences." Or that sex ed denies parents their parental rights to raise their children unaware of anything outside the parents' beliefs.

As shameful as it is to say, those attitude mean there are some states with female poverty and infant mortality rates right out of the Third World. And you wouldn't believe that abstinence-only "education" has done for teen pregnancy and STD rates.

The sarcasm! It burns!
