Dr. Tiller was killed at church.

Truthfully, there is not much anyone can do to stop a determined psychopath from wreaking havoc. No law, no level of security will truly protect us from people who are not afraid to die for their cause.

Fortunately, there aren't very many of these people. Instead, there a a lot of vocal people who carry signs and scream slogans. For the most part, they are sincere in their beliefs- you can be both sincere and WRONG.

The only way to combat this, and the only way to make them question their position, is to be there, en masse, shielding the patients from them, and calmly but firmly explaining why they are wrong.

I was pointing out, though, the mindset of the Christian conservative: "Sorry it happened, but glad he won't be performing abortions anymore" (Read: "glad he's dead&quot .

I remember hearing and reading these remarks and comments after Dr. Tiller was murdered. I thought how callous and hateful.

And this it the kind of mindset we'll be seeing when these folks try "to dissuade" clinic visitors.

I see it here frequently; rejoicing in the downfall of those we disagree with.

Protesters' behavior at clinics will be no different than it has always been. As far as I can tell, only Massachusetts and Montana are affected by this decision; Montana's buffer zone is 36 feet. The Supreme Court previously upheld Colorado's eight foot zone. No other states have laws on the books.
