Dr. George Tiller, one of the few remaining doctors performing late term abortions, was fatally shot in the lobby of his Kansas church yesterday. You can read the full-story here.
What a sad, sad day for women every where. It's perplexing to me that those who call themselves "pro-life" are only for the lives of unborn children. Once a child is born they are often unwilling to follow the precious child through its life of violence and poverty, let alone support them from a distance through the financial support of social programs. Plus, when they're eighteen we can ship 'em off to Iraq!
"The only difference between these fundamentalists and the Taliban is 8,000 miles."
Indeed.
This may not seem to have a direct correlation to gay rights, but I believe it does. The struggle for gay rights is just one in a larger war to overturn an old world patriarchy in favor of equality for everybody regardless of things like gender of sexual preference. It's no coincidence that fundamentalists who are vehemently anti-choice are often vehemently homophobic as well. This is because homosexuality and a woman's rights to her own body are both direct threats to what they perceive to be a natural order. In their perfect world, women would be subservient and gays would simply be non-existent. They are frightened and lashing out.
Ladies, keep fighting these religious thugs. We have to fight for freedom every day.
Fags, watch your backs.
