Shout-out to Kansas

I understand that the jury took less than an hour to find "pro-life" Scott Raeder guilty of murdering someone in cold blood after years of low-level terrorism. Now, if only that mouth-breathing thug Phil Kline and the mouthpiece of the anti-choice Al Qaeda (a.k.a. Operation Rescue) could be tried and convicted as collaborators, I'd call the justice complete.

I've said it before, but I don't think it can be stressed enough: If these douchebags would give a tenth of the hyperventilating to the children who die of malnourishment, disease, genocide, disaster, abuse, etc., we could have a productive discussion. But to them the abstract of a fetus or a happy middle class white baby on a billboard is all that matters. It might be more productive trying to have a rational discussion with a rabid pit-bull in heat.

Big ups to the prosecutors in this case for the immediate accomplishment and also for demonstrating that the entire state hasn't in fact gone over to the Religious Reich.
