		<description>I would certainly think that would be an important contribution, Sheelzebub.  People are very busy these days and don&#039;t really have time to keep up with the activities of the pro-life terrorists.  However, people are being fed confusing rhetoric and that leaves them vulnerable to inadvertently connecting themselves to violent and/or terrorist activities.  

I think the anti-choice groups that are law abiding really need to disassociate themselves from the prolife terrorist organizations in a way both the public at large and government agencies can identify and in a way that makes it harder for these prolife terrorist groups or individuals to network, recruit, and get financial support.  

By adopting the term &quot;anti-choice,&quot; law abiding anti-choice proponents will be credible in stating their political objective, which is to deny women and men reproductive choices.  This makes sense when you consider their political initiatives:  abstinence-only; anti-contraception; anti-women&#039;s pregnancy-related and reproductive health services.  It also disassociates them from the propaganda of prolife terrorist organizations. It acknowledges that the anti-choice proponents can and often do favor war, capital punishment, and machine gun ownership.  It also acknowledges that anti-choice proponents don&#039;t necessarily favor programs to provide aid to the poor, homeless, starving, dying, etc.  So, it&#039;s very clear to see that the term &quot;pro-life&quot; is a misnomer for the actual political agenda of the anti-choice movement and is instead useful propaganda for prolife terrorist organizations.  At least, that&#039;s how I see it.  I think the anti-choice proponents really have a responsibility in the current atomosphere to show integrity and openness about their political agenda, both for their own safety with regard to new anti-terrorism laws and for the safety of American communities.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;The cop asks for his driver&#039;s license; Newman refuses. He asks for his name and his birth date, and Newman gives them reluctantly, like a defiant kid busted for speeding. &quot;Home address,&quot; the cop says. &quot;I&#039;m not going to give that to you,&quot; Newman says.&lt;/i&gt;

Oh, isn&#039;t that rich.  Looks like Newman can dish it out but cannot take it.

Perhaps a googlebombing is in order--linking his name, and OR, to the word terrorist?</description>

		<description>You know, the more I think about it, and the more I read about the criminal activity of pro-life terrorists, it would also seem wise to educate people about our new anti-terrorism laws.  Given that terrorist organizations aren&#039;t exactly always forthcoming about their terrorist activities when they are recruiting and trying to get people to write them checks and stuff, couldn&#039;t someone who was just anti-choice, but not a pro-life terrorist per se, wind up with all their assets seized and not be allowed to fly or leave the country based on their connections to known terrorists?

I mean, if that were to happen.  If they were to contribute to the activities of pro-life terrorists or pro-life terrorist organizations and these groups and/or people were to be found to be engaging in terrorist activity.  I don&#039;t know.  The laws should be looked at and people should educate themselves and be very cautious when approached by or even talking with other anti-choice people or groups, in case some of these people are pro-life terrorists operating and organizing under the radar.</description>

		<description>The FBI should designate the National Right to Life, Operation Rescue, Pro-Life Action Network, and other anti-choice fringe groups as terrorist organizations.</description>

		<description>I know my post above sounds a bit strange, but my point is... pro-life terrorists aren&#039;t identified as such by society at large, and they really need to be.</description>

		<description>These &quot;pro-life&quot; terrorist groups are dangerous.  I don&#039;t think people take these pro-life terrorists seriously, and that&#039;s going to get a lot of people killed. Imagine these pro-life terrorists are all pissed off about the results of the upcoming election and think next year&#039;s Superbowl is a mighty fine place to get some attention.  I wouldn&#039;t put it past them.  These pro-life terrorists have been known to bomb sporting events in the past.  

It&#039;s a good idea to remind people to these pro-life terrorist groups as much as possible.  Thanks for consolidating some of the most recent movements and activities of the pro-life terrorist organizations.  I will work on making some leaflets describing what pro-life terrorist groups are up to, and make it a point to remind others to how these pro-life terrorists operate.  I may even go to mass to drop some off.  Sort of non-discretely.  Perhaps at coffee and donuts hour.  The pro-life terrorists really should get more attention.</description>

		<description>Awww that is so sweet SarahMC. Makes me wish i had some money to donate. I really think Dr.Tiller (yes, dear antis he is a real doctor) deserves a medal for not giving up and risking his life for the sake of women who choose abortion for whatever reason. 
I hope that when the elections are over the USA will finally get a president who will smack some sense into these people. These BORN people. Also I seriously doubt the Founding Fathers included this idiodicy when they were thinking up the First Amendment. And it is just insulting to think otherwise. 

Also if they want War then I have no qualms over killing them. You cannot be &quot;pro-life&quot; and then turn around and ruin/take the lives of countless people, their families, their coworkers etc. But that&#039;s just me. I doubt many people would agree.</description>

		<description>I know I&#039;m not terribly welcome here, but it never kept me from living at home.  

Operation Rescue assholes should be hounded by scary people who spray them with spit while screaming about their legal rights--oh, wait a minute, they would probably deem that to be harassment or verbal assault.  The sad part is some Godoped judge would certainly side with them.  Man, has this country slid into the morass.  

Remember to floss after you brush and to flush after you Bush.</description>

		<description>I agree with LeggoMyMeggo.  Donate a portion of your rebate check to Dr. Tiller.  
Over the summer I was reading something about harassment/violence towards Dr. Tiller over on Feministing (I think).  I sent him a check and a note thanking him and his staff for their important work.  A few days later I received a hand-written card from the doctor, thanking me for brightening his day and letting me know that the money I&#039;d sent would go towards repairing a window someone had recently broken at his clinic.  It made me feel really good.  They can use all the help they can get.  Actually, if you are interested in making contributions, ProKanDo is the name of his PAC.</description>
