Anti-Choice Terrorism

A terrorist of the "In Sorrow Shalt Thou Bring Forth Children" crowd acted to bring sorrow to the friends and family, colleagues and patients of Dr. George Tiller yesterday.

It was the second time he'd been shot by an anti-choice terrorist.  His clinic had been bombed and vandalised by anti-choice terrorists.  All because he acted to prevent the enslavement of women impregnated against their will to produce unwanted babies.

Nor was he the only victim of this kind of thing.

For a particular dash of irony, this particular  terrorist shot him in his church.

It would be nice if the goverment could bring itself to defend us against local religious terrorists, in addition to those terrorists overseas.  The problem with that, of course, is that these particular terrorists are members of the majority religion, locally, and surrounded by enablers who insist on special treatment for them that foreign terrorists don't get.

I'm going to donate to a pro-choice organization in his honor.  I'm thinking about Planned Parenthood, though I am seeing good things about Medical Students for Choice.

AG Eric Holder is sending the feds to protect abortion clinics, which is a good sign.

I won't be satisfied until this crime is prosecuted not just as murder, but as an act of terrorism.

I haven't seen or heard any news about the feds protecting abortion clinics (though I think it's a great idea); do you have a link?

Attorney General Eric Holder has ordered (http://www.publicbroadcasting.net/kcur/news.newsmain/article/1/0/1512512/KCUR.News/Tiller's.Clinic.Closed.AG.Orders.Increased.Security.for.Abortion.Clinics.and.Doctors) increased security for some abortion clinics and doctors in response to the murder of Dr. George Tiller. Tiller, a late-term abortion provider, was gunned down during services yesterday at his Wichita church.
