And this is why we love Rachel Maddow

  1. We often called the police on the Antis. You'd think there was never a FACE act. Then again, Kansas law even prohibits the blocking of access to medical services. Police would be shown survellience tape of protesters breaking the law and they'd do nothing, because they said there weren't there to witness the crime.

  2. maggotpunk: THANK YOU for being a brave clinic worker!

    I think it's important for people to know the very REAL dangers clinic staff, patients, allies, and doctors face every day. The threats of violence ARE terroristic (both implicit and explicit). And, they are experienced DAILY.

    Perhaps the tragedy of George Tiller's assassination could have been prevented if the assailant had been arrested and sentenced for the crimes he had already committed in the name of "pro-life." Now some clinics have to have U.S. Marshall protection and one doctor who helped many is dead.
