Breitbart.tv » Planned Parenthood Leader Resigns After Watching Ultrasound of Abortion Procedure

A remarkable story -- the director of a Planned Parenthood clinic evidently undergoes a kind of conversion experience and joins a local anti-abortion organization. In this two-minute interview, she explains her decision in religious terms. Planned Parenthood, fearing the disclosure of confidential information, has initiated some kind of legal action against her, including (I think) a restraining order.

Palin: "I don't know if you'd use the word 'terrorist'" for abortion-clinic bombers

Brian Williams interviews McCain and Palin on the NBC Nightly News, Oct. 23, 2008. There's a lot in this interview, but I'm clipping it mainly because of what it shows about the slipperiness of the term "terrorist" in modern-day political speech. A lot of critics have jumped on Palin for saying that she wasn't "sure" if the word "terrorist" would be appropriate for abortion-clinic bombers. To be fair, the quotation has often been taken out of context. She is pretty clear in condemning such bombings, even if she's uncomfortable with labelling them "terrorism." (However, the deeper point is that she seems to have a special category of violent criminal for whom she considers the word "terrorist" to be appropriate, and apparently Bill Ayers is the only person who fits in that category, as far as I can tell.) Presumably Palin associates the idea of "terrorism" with a kind of anti-American ideology, whatever that might mean, and isn't sure whether abortion-clinic bombers truly fall into that group. Just guessing, though. Discovered via joneilortiz's Friendfeed stream.
