Deja vu all over again

[plantmom]

Crap.  I allowed myself to read a bit about Dr. Tiller, and now I'm having flashbacks to ten years ago.  Dr. Slepian was such a decent man.  I installed landscape lights all around his house in July of '98.  It took several days.  Some mornings he would let me into his yard while he was still in his bathrobe.  He'd probably been up all night

Terri, I could hug you right now. I am perpetually on the verge of tears. So many emotions come flooding back. Damn, I understand people being anti-abortion, I really do, but to take matters into their own hands in this way, it simply doesn't make sense, and it offends mightily in terms of the other people (as you so graciously noted)affected.

I get a sick feeling in the pit of my stomach when I think that, in all likelihood, James Kopp was scoping out the place the summer when I worked there.

I was just working there, and I felt threatened in retrospect, you know?

And it really upsets me when I think that these doctors do abortions IN ADDITION TO delivering babies, doing gynecological stuff as mine did to me in April, etc.

Ouch. I'm so emotionally sore tonight.
Ray noted, when I asked him to read this before I posted, "It was always personal (meaning it was a woman's own personal decision)". When he (meaning Kopp)did what he did it made it more so, because he affected someone Ray personally knew (and loved).

Going back to Tiller, oh my Lord, the people in the church? Dear God, what is wrong with us when we consider it okay to be homicidally violent in that context?
