Monday night, at 7:30 pm, Denver PBS station KBDI (channel 12.2) is airing director Dorothy Fadiman‘s award-winning three-part abortion rights trilogy “Choice: Then and Now.” The films document the roughly hundred-year period of U.S. history in…
The jury in the Wichita, Kansas, trial of Scott Roeder has found him guilty of first-degree pre-meditated murder. The anti-abortion activist who shot Dr. George Tiller in the head last year, killing him in a church lobby, was also convicted…
The trial of Scott Roeder, the anti-abortion activist who murdered Dr. George Tiller is underway this week at the the Sedgwick County Courthouse in Wichita, Kansas. Reporters are sending out real time dispatches on Twitter. At blogsite RH Reality…
Ann Coulter doesn’t “really like to think of it as a murder,” discussing the killing of Kansas abortion provider George Tiller with Bill O’Reilly on Fox News’ The O’Reilly Factor Monday. “I like to think of it as terminating someone in the 203rd trimester,” the conservative personality says.
You know by now that in Washington, DC, on Wednesday, an elderly white supremacist and anti-Semite named James W. von Brunn allegedly walked into the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum with a .22-caliber rifle and killed a security guard before being brought down himself. He’s 88 years old, with a long record of hatred and paranoid fantasies about the Illuminati and a Global Zionist state. How bitter the bile that has curdled for so many decades.
Scott Roeder, the 51-year-old accused of murdering abortion provider Dr. George Tiller in his Wichita, Kans. church, had a long history of ties to a violent right-wing extremist group, had previously threatened another abortion provider, and had just that week vandalized Tiller’s clinic.
Just as federal law specifically penalizes hate crimes, the law also makes it a federal crime to threaten or commit violence against abortion providers, or to vandalize their clinics. Yet as The Washington Independent revealed last week, the criminal law was not being enforced.
One of the last remaining providers of very late abortions in the country said it was an “outrage” the murder of Dr. George Tiller last week has led to his family’s decision to close the clinic he ran in Wichita, Kan.
One of the last remaining third-trimester abortion providers in the country wants President Barack Obama to do more than express shock and outrage at the killing Sunday of late-term abortion doctor George Tiller in Wichita, Kan.
The threats started in 1995. It was the anniversary of Roe v. Wade, and the American Coalition of Life Activists decided to create a poster for their annual meeting listing the names and address of a group of doctors who performed abortions. They called them “the Deadly Dozen,” and declared each guilty of “crimes against humanity.” They offered $5,000 for information leading to their arrest, conviction, or revocation of their medical licenses. ACLA members distributed the poster at the group’s events and published it in an affiliated magazine.
The May 31 murder of Wichita physician George Tiller may hold a creepy significance for militant antiabortion protesters in the same manner that Adolph Hitler’s birthday has been exploited by white supremacists to wreak racist mayhem.
