An excerpt from the new movie, "What's the Matter with Kansas?" The recently-murdered Dr. Tiller of Wichita was a lightning rod for controversy because he was one of very few doctors in the U.S. who would perform certain types of late-term abortions. He was also a defiant foe of the Pro-Life movement. In 1991, protests at Tiller's clinic and others in WIchita mushroomed into a conservative takeover of Kansas' Republican Party. Viewing abortion as murder proved incredibly galvanizing in Wichita, motivating many people who'd never been involved in politics before. Tragically, the flip side of this worldview - any means may be justified to stop a mass-murderer - led to Tiller's shooting death on May 31, 2009. This act was widely condemned by activists on all sides of the abortion issue.

4. And the sad thing is, they don't realize how crazy they look
They're in their own tiny little worlds where they think their view is the only correct one, they don't realize how stupid they look. Kansas is an F-ed up place. Let's not forget Westboro Baptist Church comes from there and they also require creationism to be taught in public schools
