Randall Terry Out of Control

Randall Terry, founder of anti-abortion group “Operation Rescue,” will hold a news conference outside the National Holocaust Museum in the nation’s capital Thursday.

Terry says he will announce plans to run advertisements showing aborted fetuses during the 2012 Super Bowl as well as the NFC and AFC championship games. He also plans to run the ads during the 2012 Democratic primary elections.

It’s not clear whether networks will be willing to run the ads. Um, not bloody likely.

Terry made headlines during the trial of Scott Roeder, the man convicted of gunning down Dr. George Tiller in his church in May of 2009. Roeder assassinated Tiller because Tiller was one of the few doctors in the country who performed late term abortions.

Terry compared Scott Roeder to John Brown who used violence as a means to free slaves in 19th Century America.

Terry was also very critical of the prosecution of Roeder, characterizing it as unfair.

“There are those who want to pretend this trial has nothing to do with child-killing by abortion; that is a farce. It's like saying that the trials of Nat Turner and John Brown had nothing to do with slavery.
"We will be present to be a voice for the babies who perished at George Tiller's hand.
"George Tiller murdered 60,000 babies by his own hand. Scott Roeder knew this. How can Mr. Roeder receive a fair trial if this data is kept from the jury? Will the jury be allowed to hear evidence – such as the grizzly means by which these babies were slain and disposed of – evidence that would clearly effect Mr. Roeder's state of mind?
"If George Tiller has murdered 60,000 Jews, would the judge exclude all Jews from the jury, or insist that only anti-Semites could be jurors?"

Terry is also planning to run for president in 2012 on an anti-abortion platform.

I'm just going to say this because sometimes things like this need to be said.

Motherfuck this guy.

Digging His Own Grave

Right now, I'm listening to a live stream of Scott Roeder's murder trial.

If you didn't know, Roeder is the domestic terrorist who shot Dr. George Tiller in his church last May.

First, the judge ruled that Phill Kline could not testify for the defense. He said that he would allow Roeder to argue his beliefs as motive but that he would not let a public figure lend credibility to those beliefs.

Good goddamn ruling, judge.

Then came the opening statement from the defense.

I could not believe that I was listening to Roeder's attorney and not the prosecutor. He talked about how Roeder stalked Tiller.

He described how Roeder had to kill Tiller at his church because he had no other option since Tiller's clinic and home had security.

Now, Roeder is on the stand himself, digging his own fucking grave.

Rot and choke on a dick. I'm going back to listen to more.

Holy shit he just said that he asked Jesus into his heart watching the 700 Club. This, of course comes as no surprise.

Dr. Tiller, once again, thank you for the lives you saved and sleep well.

37 Years And Countless Lives Saved

This picture isn't the best, but the purple wristband says "Trust Women 5-31-09" That was the day that Dr. George Tiller , a woman's health care provider was assassinated in his church. It's funny that the trial of his killer starts on the anniversary of Roe v. Wade.

Thirty-seven years ago today, the Supreme Court decriminalized abortion. They ruled that the forth amendment's guarantee of privacy extended to what happened between a woman and her doctor.

Since then the attacks on that ruling have been relentless. What's at stake isn't just a woman's right not only to choose, but the right to make this choice in the only place it should be made: a doctor's office.

Regulations meant to subvert Roe have made abortion all but inaccessible in some parts of the country.

A reported rise in treatment for girls who have tried 'do-it-yourself' abortions that have gone wrong has gone up alarmingly.

This fight is far from over. Roe was only the first step and it is far too early to celebrate.

We are pro-choice because we are the ones who respect the sanctity of life.
