There is No Excuse for this Shit (or, Fuck You Anti-Choice Extremists)

Sorted under anti-choice extremism on June 3, 2009

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.

  • dont' know what to say... This kind of crime should be stopped ... for God Sake.
  • 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!

    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.
