There is No Excuse for this Shit (or, Fuck You Anti-Choice Extremists)
Here is a segment from a press conference given by Randall Terry, founder of the anti-abortion organization Operation Rescue, from June 1, 2009.
First of all, I do not buy into what the right wing, anti-choicers have been proclaiming repeatedly since Sunday morning. I do not believe that they get out of at least part of the blame for this assassination scott free. I do not believe that with the amount of right wing, anti-choice population among several different media outlets coming out in basically support of Scott Roeder for the murder that he committed that they have the right to say that there is no reason to look to them with question marks all over our faces.
Second of all, for someone to declare that a man who had dedicated his career and had given his life for the rights and reproductive freedoms of women and who had literally saved the lives of many women had “reaped what he sowed” is heinous, disgusting, and unforgivable. I find it absolutely ludicrous that in a 49 second period, Terry first made excuses for the people and organizations of the anti-choice population and the fact that they were not the people to look at because of the death of Dr. Tiller and then sings praises of support for his death. There is no excuse for the words that Randall Terry mindlessly threw around. It is sentiments like these that come from anti-choicers and anti-choice organizations that lead us to look at them when a murder is committed.
Congratulations Randall Terry, you have proven anti-choice extremism is more of a circus than we had thought.

Sex-Positivity
I'm passionate about sex-positivity and believe every sexual being should have the freedom to explore their sexuality safely and without condemnation. I even lost my ad network after my refusal to censor myself after reviewing feminist porn.So if you're in the market for sex toys, porn, books, etc. take a look at the retailers below, all of which are feminist-friendly.
Out Campaign
The OUT Campaign allows individuals to let others know they are not alone. It can also be a nice way of opening a conversation and help to demolish the negative stereotypes of atheists. Let the world know that we are not about to go away and that we are not going to allow those that would condemn us to push us into the shadows.
I was a pro-choicer in Texas back in the 70s (okay, I'm dating myself). I had many heated discussions with the right wing religious nuts.
My favorite was when the teenage boy head of the RtL group on campus started stalking me. He “arranged” to be in the campus bar (see–70s, when college kids could DRINK) during the three hour hiatus I had between labs. He routinely sat down next to me, ruining my soothing glass of wine.
But the kicker was the day he admitted that, if his girlfriend got pregnant, he'd leave town.
Even the merest lump of flesh has a right to life, but no one necessarily has to accept RESPONSIBILITY for that life.
I almost wish sometimes (like Sunday) that I believed that these idiots will one day have to face their maker. Unfortunately, I don't.
I completely agree. I disagree with abortion in general, especially late term, but I also disagree with the death penalty and murder. This man did not reap what he had sewn, he saw women in need, and knew a way to provide a solution to their life changing problems. Whether right or wrong is in the eyes of God, not some politician, or gun crazed mad man that doesn't have a clue about how to world goes round. Thank you for your informative post! I love your point of view!
dont' know what to say… This kind of crime should be stopped … for God Sake.
Please STOP abortion! Stop killing innocent lives. Its not their fault to be here on earth, so why letting them suffer! They could have been a great human being in this world!
Just suck and fuck who ever comes in your way.
