oh the GALL...anti-choice nutbags will hold a prayer vigil at Dr. Tillers clinic
Prayer vigil planned for Saturday at Tiller’s closed clinic

Abortion opponents plan to return to Wichita this weekend to conduct a prayer vigil at the now-closed clinic where slain doctor George Tiller performed late-term abortions.

The prayer vigil and what is being called a memorial service at the former Women’s Health Care Services, 5107 E. Kellogg, will be held at noon on Saturday during a “prayer walk” extending the length of Kellogg through Wichita, organizers said in a prepared statement.

“As members of the pro-life and faith community, we are coming together for a time of prayer and remembrance,” said the Rev. Patrick Mahoney, director of the Christian Defense Coalition, which is based in Washington, D.C. “We will be praying for the Tiller family as well as asking God to bring healing to the city of Wichita.

“We will be asking God to end the violence both inside and outside of abortion clinics. Specifically, we will be praying that Wichita respects human rights and social justice and that no abortions would ever be performed in the city again.”

1. A bumper sticker
I saw in Kansas last month told me all I need to know about "Christian Defense Coalitions."

Abortion, what part of thou shalt not kill do you not understand?

3. sounds like time for MY idea: holding up huge posters of Tiller's dead body and labeling them
murderers..... just like they do with photos of dead fetuses at abortion clinics. If I lived in the area, I'd help organize just such an effort.

please pass on this idea to anyone in the area

6. Agree. They have to be confronted for their hatred and violence. And, since their tactics
work (the clinic is closed), I would also like to see some increased-level of action from our side.

OUr wives and daughters and all women deserve our support. They deserve to have someone fight for their rights. By any means necessary.

21. I think that's a great idea.
Fucking asshats need to know that what they did was essentially the same thing they accused Dr. Tiller of doing.

8. Gang Way, here comes the crazy!! We've seen murder in a church on a Sunday
lead to the closer of a health clinic; a woman's health clinic over which they now intend to caw like a murder of blood thirsty crow...hm...when Palin jibber-jabbers about fallen soldiers and spilt innocent blood on foreign shores so people can be free to be free...is that the kind of freedom she's talking about. The freedom to murder people in church on a Sunday and caw like crow after having done so?

12. You know what would be a perfect idea for them?
If they invited Sarah Palin to join them. They'll all get plenty of attention, which is what they really want. And Sarah can stay in the news. The upside for "us" is that Palin further marginalizes herself.

16. Since this is private property now and no longer
houses any type of clinic--these fucking scumbags should be arrested for trespassing. They no longer have a "right to protest" at a closed place of business.
Fuck their fucking prayers. Their PRAYERS brought death to a man in his place of worship. Fucking hypocrites.

22. Suggestion: wear black. Bring big pictures of vultures.
Your talking point to the media is not about abortion, per se. It is that the anti-choice protesters, even after one of their own has killed this man, before his family has even had time to adjust to the shock, are picketing his shuttered place of business. They are vultures, and they have no shame. You are not there to protest them, only to remind them of their forgotten sense of decency, and to ask them to go home and respect the mourning period of those who have lost a colleague, a physician, a loved one or a friend.

Their responses will be strident and crazy. They'll foam at the mouth about mourning TEH PRECIOUS BABIES!!! They will look batshit, and you will win. The calmer and more respectful your people can be, the more pronounced the effect.
