I hate everything right now.
Every time I try to come up with something intelligent to say about the murder of abortion doctor George Tiller, who provided late-term abortions, I have a "Flames ... on the side of my face ..." type of reaction.
So I'll just say this.
If you seriously believe that women are so lazy and stupid as a group that a majority of late-term abortions are done not out of medical necessity but because women just routinely and casually decide they don't want to carry a healthy fetus anymore in the eighth month ... if you honestly believe that a woman should be forced to carry a dead fetus until her body decides to get rid of it, if it doesn't give her an infection and kill her off too ... if you can stand there and tell me with a straight expression that every birth defect and flaw can be caught before the fetus becomes theoretically viable outside of the womb and women just wait to get rid of those fetuses out of laziness ... if you actually think a woman should have to carry a fetus without a face or a fucking brain for weeks if not months knowing full well it'll die immediately after birth ...
Get off my friendslist.
No, seriously, get the fuck away from me.
And I hope you never have to learn why the right to a late-term abortion is so goddamn important.

This is hideous and awful and I'm just sick about it. There were SO MANY organizations and people who targeted Dr Tiller with lies and hatred, and they are all responsible. Not that Roeder isn't -- this is a guy who apparently drove from KC down to Wichita just to murder Dr Tiller. (Roeder hasn't been convicted, of course.) And you know many in those organizations, mostly in Operation Rescue, are praising the alleged murderer as a hero.
