Wild Monkeys!

I have been more outraged by the brutal, senseless murder of Dr. George Tiller than by any number of atrocities in the world over the last several years. It cuts to the quick of what I believe in. His blood is not just on the hands of the killer and his immediate ideological allies, but also on hundreds of politicians' hands: the hands of those who have fought to marginalize and ghettoize women's reproductive health care generally and abortion services specifically. They created the climate that led to this killing. Many of them are, with whatever crocodile tears, celebrating it tonight. They are anathema to me.
