Newsflash: Pro-lifers have not just gone away due to the recent murder of an abortionist!
I think that because of the recent murder of abortionist George Tiller by a lunatic, some expected that pro-lifers would just give up and become pro-choice or at least shut up about abortion, but many pro-lifers are still inexplicably pro-life.
NPR reports in a shock headline:
Anti-Abortion Rhetoric Still Strong.
Wow! What a shock. You mean pro-lifers haven’t just called it a day and gone home?
TampaBay.com reports that Barbara Zdravecky, CEO of Planned Parenthood of Southwest Florida, said “The terrorists are still there.”
Check this out from The New Haven Independent which could hardly contain its surprise. Mind you, this is a “news” story:
Anti-abortion protesters returned to a local clinic to protest a “killer” — not the pro-lifer who gunned down a doctor, but birth control pills.
Sunday’s murder in Wichita of abortion provider George Tiller didn’t hamper the plans of protesters who converge three times a week outside the Planned Parenthood clinic on Whitney Avenue and Edwards Street. Wednesday was their first regularly scheduled picket since the murder. A small contingent showed up complete with dead fetuses and a “Pill Kills” sign.
Yes. As much as a nutjob isn’t going to prevent abortionists from showing up to work, it’s not going to stop pro-lifers from telling people that abortion ends a human life. We’re pro-life and we’re not going away. As much as you’d like us to.

It's one thing for the media and pro-aborts to ride on the wave of righteous anger over this incident. But now that they are indignant of failed results stinks of conspiracy on their part. Are they sorry for the death of Tiller or are they sorry they haven't stopped the pro-life cause?

I note with interest (but with no real surprise) that the MSM attaches the word "rhetoric" to Christian (and/or conservative) positions, but I have no memory of the MSM using the word "rhetoric" at all when referring to a Culture-Of-Death liberal persion or position. Coincidence?

Whoops… "persion" should be "person"…

"TampaBay.com reports that Barbara Zdravecky, CEO of Planned Parenthood of Southwest Florida, said "The terrorists are still there."'
Yes, Ms. Zdravecky, the terrorists and their supporters are still there, butchering million of unborn infants, and somehow feeling akin to the rest of humanity. Isn't Planned Parenthood in the vanguard?

Note that the irony of this passage:
Anti-abortion protesters returned to a local clinic to protest a “killer” — not the pro-lifer who gunned down a doctor, but birth control pills.
is not lost on me. More than once, pro-abortion, pro-contraception folks have said, "Well you really can't be pro-life since you don't protest the use of contraception!"
So we don't, and we're not pro-life. We do and we're crazy.
Nothing, apparently, will stand in the way of meaningless sexual gratification for these folks.

Heh. It reminds of the bitterness on the part of the VICTORS after Obama won. Apparenetly, all of us not-The-One voters were supposed to be swallowed up by the earth like the Orcs at the end of Return of the King and when that didn't happen, they felt cheated.

I am immediately skeptical of any newspaper that has the word "Independent" in the title. It's usually a code word for "left-leaning". Unfortunately, politically I am an independent, but anything but left-leaning which is why this bothers me so much.

Rachel Maddow, MSLGBT Host, and Melissa Harris-Lacewell, Associate Professor of Politics and African American Studies at Princeton University, discuss the goal of the so-called "pro-choice" movement is stigmatising the pro-life movement as socially unacceptable to the point that people immediately associate pro-life, anti-choice, and anti-abortion with KKK.
In discussing their comic view of the pro-life movement, they salivate, "that the anti-choice community operates with a totalitarian impulse that generates a culture of terror rather than a culture of life."
