I don't think this is going to be a coherent post on the Tiller murder. i don't think I have it in me to be coherent yet. but i am so fucking angry, hurt, scared and disgusted that i must post anyway.
This is terrorism, in a true and real sense. They are attempting to instill enough fear in doctors that no one will provide late term or eventually any abortions. That's the fucking goal of terrorism. Fear. In the name of religion, in this case.
I know the right wing talking asses are going to fall all over themselves condemning this out of half their mouths. But it is what they said leading up to this that counts, that created this terrorism. I am looking at Bill O'Reilly here. He and his cronies all but called on his minions for someone to murder this man who was risking his life to help women in a dire situation.
I know that there are way too many americans looking at this murder as a victory, who are privately applauding the bravery of this despicable murderer, because of the way the propagandaists have spinned their abortion is murder spiel over and over again, making doctors into murderers, and therefore encouraging the small minded to impose the death penalty on said murderers. There will be more clinic bombings again after this, i will put money on it. Because the next step is to murder to women who dare to have abortions and any who assist them, doctors, nurses, etc, until the culture of fear wins and women are scared to even go to the clinic, if there is still one willing to risk operating in their county.

a bullet came to visit a doctor
in his one safe place
a bullet ensuring the right to life
whizzed past his kid and his wife
and knocked his glasses
right off of his face
and the blood poured off the pulpit
yeah the blood poured down the picket lines
yeah, the hatred was immediate
and the vengence was divine
so they went and stuffed god
down the barrel of a gun
and after him
they stuffed his only son

I wish I could type out pure emotion, because words are failing me here.
