Dr Tiller’s Murderer Demands His First Amendment Right To Discuss Killing More Abortion Providers
Convicted murderer, domestic terrorist and all around fun guy, Scott Roeder, the man who took Wichita abortion provider George Tiller’s life during church services, was caught making threats against his next victim: Julie Burkhart, the executive director of the clinic that replaced Dr. Tiller after Roeder murdered him, according to Wonkette.
Rork said on Friday that he is working free of charge after Roeder sent him a letter asking for his help. (Insert lawyer joke here).
Rork said he took the case mainly because “I’m a big First Amendment guy.”
And I’m a “Don’t murder people” kind of woman.
If you think Roeder wasn’t serious with his threats, check out the Army Of God site, in which they thank him for murdering Doctor Tiller. Because, that’s just what Jesus would do.
CJ Online reports:
The Associated Press reported Roeder was being held last year at Lansing Correctional Facility when the corrections department disciplined him after concluding he made threats of violence against a different Wichita abortion provider during a telephone interview with an anti-abortion activist. The activist put a recording of the call on YouTube.
The recording included discussion about how Julie Burkhart, executive director of the abortion rights group Trust Women, had opened a women’s health center providing abortion services in the Wichita building Tiller used. Roeder could be heard saying it was “death-defying” for someone to reopen that clinic.
He added, “To walk in there and reopen a clinic, a murder mill where a man was stopped, it’s almost like putting a target on your back — saying, ‘Well, let’s see if you can shoot me.’ ”
The Associated Press reported Roeder was given 45 days in disciplinary segregation with no outside communication, followed by 60 days of loss of privileges and a $20 fine.
Rork said Friday that Roeder hadn’t realized the activist was recording the conversation and would post it online.
Rork said of Roeder: “He didn’t threaten anybody. He just was commenting to a private individual in a discussion that happened to be recorded.”
Rork said that if the First Amendment protects the statement by Westboro Baptist Church members that “Fags are worthy of death,” then it certainly protects the statements Roeder made to the activist.
(my bold)
Right, because calling gay people “fags” is just like murdering someone in cold blood, then discussing your next target, all the while blaming it on God.
In the conversation, Roeder told Iowa Army of God member David Leach that:
“eight [providers] have been shot, so we’ve got 92 to go,” referencing an anti-choice pastor who once claimed, according to Roeder, “If 100 abortionists were shot, [the surviving abortion providers] would probably go out of business.” Roeder also referred to Julie Burkhart, founder of the South Wind Women’s Clinic in Wichita, as “Julie Darkheart” and said, “For Julie Darkheart to walk back in there and reopen a murder mill where a man was stopped. It’s almost like putting a target on your back, saying, ‘Well, let’s see if you can shoot me!’”

How dare we take away the Army Of God’s next thrill kill.

I’d let him discuss as much as he wants while he is dangling from the end of a rope

killing actual humans that were living and breathing is good and justified but cells being aborted is bad, nut job.

That’s because the religious right believes that life begins at conception, and ends at birth.

Just so we’re clear, I think that the odious excuse for a human being called Roeder is right on one point. I think Dr. Julie Burkhart probably did say to herself, “yeah, lets see if y’all can kill me” after her friend and colleague was mercilessly gunned down and Burkhart re-opened the clinic, and I admire her more than words can say for thinking just that. The amount of bravery, heart, and sheer guts it must have taken to re-open a vital center of women’s health, in the aftermath of a senseless tragedy, is mind-boggling. Dr. Burkhart is a true hero and deserves our gratitude and admiration.

I’ve always wondered why anti-abortion advocates and churches NEVER mention birth control as a way to prevent the perceived need for abortion. I’d think they’d be handing out condoms and opening free birth control clinics.

Because it’s not about “the sanctity of life” it’s about keeping women under the boot of patriarchy.

They don’t want to prevent unwanted pregnancy they want to end women having sex when their not married. And if a woman is married she should be forced to have her husbands child regardless of her desires. If she wants to have sex that is.
