Why favor premarriage counseling for everyone, when it's easier to be against marriage for homosexuals?
Why have a serious conversation about corporate power and job losses when it's easier to bitch about brown people?
In short, any coward can say NO. It takes courage to say YES.

Also they protested outside of his office every day and called him a mass murderer (even in response to his death), acting as a freaking homing signal for unstable people with violent tendencies, access to weapons, and God Complexes.

Roeder has an extensive anti-government and I'd say, anti-liberal, anti-humanitarian history. He's a perfect example of how these militia guys aren't just anti-gov't--they're anti-woman as well. It's like...he didn't do anything of note with his life but by God at least he could get a woman pregnant...or something like that. His was and is a life of the lowest common denominator, of defining one's self of...."At least I'm not....." insert group name here.

If a group dubs someone "Dr. Killer", publishes all their personal information, and calls them a mass murderer who should be aborted, it is no surprise that someone might take this as instructive, and kill him. I'm not sure how you can call that nonsense.

Oh, bullshit.
You are being incredibly intellectually dishonest if you dare to imply that Limbaugh or Beck face anything compared to what liberals, etc., etc., face in this country. Tell me, how often did the KKK face bombings, murders, state-sanctioned harassment and torture?
It's not like the anti-abortion movement has devoted years to perfecting their harassment techniques, up to and including murder, terrorism, and various other acts intended to intimidate or subdue people. Yeah, uh huh. Jane Fonda is going to be knocking on your damned door and demanding you sign that petition.
The idea that murder is the responsibility of the murderer alone is simplistic to say the least. Conspiracy to commit murder, aiding and abbetting, accessory before and after the fact----these legal terms and realities destroy the notion that murder is the act of one person.
Right wing assholes kill people. Left wing assholes kill SUVs and break windows.

Bill O'Reilly made it a point to spread the most grotesque lies about Tiller and has blood on his hands, morally, if not legally. The campaign waged against abortion providers in this country---and by extension, against womens' rights----is an example of sheer hatred.

And honestly, "Right wing assholes kill people. Left wing assholes kill SUVs and break windows?" Do you seriously think that? As ridiculous as it was when everybody jumped on Obama for being connected to Bill Ayers, the Weather Underground was not a joke.

Granted, this was a while ago, but there are much more extreme groups outside the US - FARC (in South America) is horrible, the Basque nationalists have killed something like 800 people in Spain, and the list goes on.
I'm sure it's comfortable for you to lump everybody even slightly more conservative than you in with the Klan, but fortunately that is not the way political alignment works. Obviously.

My bias is reality. Your leans rather more rightward. Own it.

But I thank you from the bottom of my heart for avoiding me and I trust that you will continue to do so in future. Good luck with all forms of the your favorite phrase "intellectually dishonest," which appears to mean "not in total agreement with everything I say."

And if you'd stop saying stupid shit, maybe I could resist the temptation, but you keep saying the most irresistibly stupid crap one could imagine.
Oh, look, a conservative bingo, too! Let me guess: you troll feminist sites, whining about censorship and syncophants and hive minds, too? So cute!

Oh, that knocked up whore isn't nearly as important as the innocent life she's carrying? Until that innocent life gets knocked up herself. THEN her life is diminshed based on another potential little soldier.
You make me sick. We should declare war on this lot of pustulant boils on the asshole of the universe.

Thank you Dr. Carhart, for sacrificing your ability to live a normal life and risking your own safety to perform a much needed and much appreciated service to women in need. I wish there were more like you and that all the extra precautions weren't necessary to ensure your safety.

and the description: "NAF's security experts are available to our members 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for emergency support. When a crisis occurs, we send emergency response teams to clinic sites to provide immediate, on-the-ground assistance. We perform security assessments at the clinics and homes of our members, and train clinic staff in practical, day-to-day procedures that could save their lives. We also meet with key law enforcement officials to educate them about the security needs of our members, and urge them to investigate and prosecute anti-choice criminal activities."
Hopefully this is what you were looking for.

Also, just a note on language: "late-term abortion" has no medical meaning -- it's another way anti-choicers tie abortion to the idea of a baby (by associating it with birth). The correct term is simply "late abortion." NPR has the explanation:
[www.npr.org]
"Doctors refer to term as the end of a pregnancy, when a pregnancy is over and baby is ready to be born. So, late-term would actually mean after a pregnancy is complete - after 39 weeks. So, in fact, doctors who talk about abortion later in pregnancy simply talk about late abortions."

THIS. Right after the assassination of Dr. Tiller, I was in the car discussing it with Mr. Rex's (extremely liberal) father and our toddler-age daughter was in the backseat. FIL Rex opened his mouth to say something, then looked at my daughter and stopped. What he was going to say was simply the word "abortion". I was stunned that he considered the mere word too offensive to say in front of her, as if it were an obscenity. How can we expect abortion to ever be de-stigmatized if even those of us who are firmly pro-choice are hesitant to even use the word?
