Since the 1970s, abortion providers have been the target for arson and bombings by the very people who claim they value life at the moment of conception. The latest example of their hypocritical ideology happened in Pullman, Washington, where a Planned Parenthood clinic was set ablaze at 3:30 AM on a Friday morning.

Using this picture, because it really epitomizes everything fucked-up about anti-choicers, starting with the sense that life itself oppresses them. It's Blog For Choice Day, so join in on your own blogs, or in comments.

But I'm not skipping music entirely. Considering the craziness of the week, I thought to pick a political song that captured both the incredible lows from the assassination of Dr. George Tiller and the high of New Hampshire legalizing gay marriage. After all, these two fights---for reproductive rights and gay rights---are the same fight. It's about the right of people who aren't straight men to have a sexuality without punishment or shame. We're the ones who deserve the label "pro-life", because we support the right for gays and women to survive and to thrive---to live. And make no mistake, we're all up against a patriarchal right that is sadistic and violent. Their quiet support of abortion clinic violence and gay-bashing is quiet enough to escape the notice of people who aren't looking, but it's there. It's in their coddling of anti-choice extremists, and their unwillingness to support hate crimes legislation. They will control you, and if they feel violence is necessary, violence they will use.

Because fuckheads who don't know what they're talking about are beginning to blather about how they think they know better than actual doctors about the realities of late term abortion, I thought I'd put up a video that we made explaining the facts.

Jesus H. Christ, I think I'm going to be sick. Look at what Randall Terry said at today's press conference. (Right Wing Watch):

Faux News bully Bill O'Reilly has spent multiple segments of his show -- 29 segments to be exact -- portraying Dr. George TIller as a bloodthirsty savage. The doctor, who was murdered in his church on Sunday, has been vilified by O'Reilly. Do you think he feels any level of accountability for stirring up the fringe anti-choice womb controllers out there? Clips of his demonization are seen in the following DKos video, along with this excerpt of an article on this from Salon
