  The murder today of Dr. George Tiller in Kansas confirms what many of us have long known. Among those who call themselves pro-life, there are plenty who are anything but. They are terrorists, plain and simple, who seek to subordinate women to the religiously fanatical, patriarchal dystopia of their theocratic fantasies. At best, they are pro-fetal life. They love the pre-born but could care less for those children already here, whose poverty they will blame on their parents, whose illness and lack of health care they will shrug off as "not their problem," and whose humanity they will altogether ignore or even cheer as it is destroyed, so long as those children be Iraqi, or Afghan, or just Muslim in general.

  • had Tiller been killed going into work, or had the clinic where he operated been blown up, killing the employees inside, under simple notions of the vicarious defense of others, such an act would be justified: at least it would be if one accepts the underlying premise of fetal personhood put forth by the anti-choice side.
