I bring you more rage this time. :V Only current events, rather than, uh...vintage.

Remember that psycho fuckwad who murdered one of only two doctors in the US who perform medically necessary late-term abortions?

I remember that episode!

So Hirsh, how did that argument work out for ya last time?

Michael Hirsh, the lawyer who represented Paul Hill on appeal for killing a Florida abortion provider and his bodyguard in 1994. Hill was executed in 2003 after the Florida Supreme Court rejected Hirsh's argument that the judge should have allowed Hill to present to jurors his claim that the killings were justified to prevent abortions.

Not too well, apparently.

Certainly doesn't help when your stance is inconsistent in its insanity to begin with.

Seriously, if you're going to try and pull the "justifiable homicide" card, why the hell would you try it when one of the victims in no way shape or form performed abortions?

I'm trying to figure out how the fuck it's "justifiable homicide" to kill someone who's doing something perfectly legal.

What's next, hardcore anti-smoking wingnuts murdering tobacco company executives? Teetotalers murdering winemakers?

Dave Leach, an anti-abortion activist in Des Moines, Iowa, who in 1996 reprinted the Army of God manual that lists ways to damage abortion clinics, recently wrote a legal brief for Roeder's case on the "necessity defense." He argued that had the alleged shooter not acted, the killing of hundreds of babies every week would have continued. He sent it to Roeder's public defenders, but they have not responded.

I hope they're using those papers to wipe their ass. That's about the only good that'll come from it.
