[dandi]

Because nothing says, "We remember you fondly" like killing a few more babies in your name.

The Network has also received many requests from women who received care from Dr. Tiller and from activists in the reproductive justice community to set up a Fund in Dr. Tiller’s name. In response, we have established the George Tiller Memorial Abortion Fund to assist the women to whom George Tiller dedicated his life. The Fund will assist women in the second trimester to pay for abortion care, as well as pay for travel and lodging en route to providers. To donate to the Fund in Dr. Tiller’s name, please send contributions to:

George Tiller Memorial Abortion Fund
c/o National Network of Abortion Funds
42 Seaverns Ave.
Boston, MA 02130

You may also donate online at http://www.nnaf.org/tiller.html

How did we become this depraved?

In "honor" of the guy that murdered thousands of infants, we can now contribute to a fund to assist with more murders.

Lord, we humbly ask Your forgiveness for our nation.

I assume there will be the "Pvt William Long Soldier Fund" following shortly as well?

[DumbAss Tanker]

On the plus side, since it will be run by air-head Liberals, we can pretty well count on three quarters of it going for "Administrative expenses" and a lot of the rest just being stolen by those who know an easy mark when they see one.

[Karin]

JohnnyReb, yes that phrase jumped out at me as well.  Combine that with the word "activists" and you get the complete, sordid picture.  Another one that jars me is "abortion care."  

[Sam Adams]

They should finish funding the Vladimir Lenin Memorial first.

[USA4ME]

If Tiller could come back from the grave he'd tell them "No don't do that!", but he's busy doing some extreme tanning for an eternity or so.

I "trolled" for a short time on the site linked. What a vile, disgusting place.

A few quotes from the front page to "comments":

WE VALUE diversity of opinions and we welcome dissent, but our primary goal is to foster a dynamic feminist community. In that spirit, we ask that all commenters post in good faith, and that conservative or non-feminist commenters keep in mind that they are in our house and should behave accordingly. We will use our discretion in determining which comments are posted.

 

Because we value our community and will work to protect that community, sometimes we will delete comments that we believe to be harmful or trolling.

From the abortion section:

I know a lot of pro-choice advocates dislike Obama’s “common ground” rhetoric, but I’ve actually thought it was quite strategically smart. After all, the “common ground” position is abortion reduction through contraception, poverty alleviation, and increased gender equality — the pro-choice position, in a nutshell. It is irritating to see that position re-packaged and sold as new, but if it works, I’m fine with it. It also puts anti-choicers on the defensive, and it makes them explain why they’re opposed to all the things that have been proven to decrease the abortion rate. The anti-choice position is centered solely and wholely on making abortion illegal; they have no other tenable plan for making abortion less common. So I like the “common ground” argument, because it puts them in a position of refusing all common-sense solutions.

No mention of adoption? That seem very common sense to me.


A quote from the comments:

I’m not up on the current “Feminist Thoughts on yaoiAbortion” literature, but most feminists I know would say that there are few, if any, folks out there getting abortions for the hell of it so lets instead focus on the real issues.
Moreover, that bodily autonomy and self-determination are important for everyone, regardless of how many months pregnant ze is; it doesn’t matter if I need a kidney now or three months from now, I can’t force anyone to give me hir’s–same principle applies.
If you are still curious, I recommend reading the rest of the posts and comments about the hero Dr. Tiller; instead of derailing this one any more.

This POS is attaining "Godhead" on the site.  

These feminazis disgust me.

[jtyangel]

Wineslob, probably the same people who considered killing GROWN UPS in the middle of a WAR as a despicable, inhumane act, but if a doctor does it as a medical procedure in his office and it's an INFANT then he is a hero. What amazes me about the feminazis is even though they might be pro-choice, basic humane obligations would dictate that it is terribly vile of a person to be proud that this as their profession: Tiller was proud of his work. I would think for even the mos liberal among us, that would be distasteful at the very least. I've actually considered that Tiller was a psychopath who enjoyed killing like any other serial killer: however he was able to kill legitimately under federal law. You'd think given his glee with which he did this would at least set this bunch up for pause, no matter how strongly they feel about the legality of abortion.

[JohnnyReb]

HEY DUMMIES !!! I'm all pro-choice here......it's the timing I've got a problem with.
The "choice" should be made before the man gets in the womans pants.....not several months down the road when a defenseless innocent is fighting you, the man and the doctor for it's life.......3 on 1 at fair even in a DUmmie fight.
