He's not a brilliant speaker (not that I should cast a stone) and I wonder if the way he articulates our arguments is helping or harming. Very few people are given such public platforms to voice pro-choice sentiments in this increasingly silent culture, and I don't think it's fair to him or us that he be placed in the position he's been put in here.

I mean, I know he's got other things on his mind, but c'mon Obama!

I yell about terrorists.
I yell at people to move to another country if they hate it here so much.
I yell at people about being patriotic.
I yell at people to respect out president.
It's crazy!

What was heartening about this interview however, was when he mentioned he was training two more well-established doctors to perform these tricky and necessary procedures, and he'd also received requests from a whole bunch more doctors wanting to be trained by him. I'm glad skilled and compassionate professionals have taken up this difficult mantle. It gives me hope.

Am I making sense?

Sometimes it feels like these people are standing in the doorway of a hospital screaming "SEGREGATION NOW, SEGREGATION TOMORROW..." only instead of people of color, they're referring to the (disproportionately non-white) lower class and to women.

Quit using reasonable, measured language. Get mad, call them by their true names. It's time we called people like Terry what they are: terrorists against women, against the rule of law, against health care providers.

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?
