Great quote today from one of Eric Rudolph's victims

"What they did was participate in the murder of 50 children a week," he said. "Abortion is murder, and because it is murder I believe deadly force is needed to stop it."

"Children are disposed of at will," he said in a long speech against abortion. "The state is no longer the protector of the innocents."

But Lyons, when she spoke earlier, said Rudolph was nothing but a coward.

"When it was your turn to face death you weren't so brave again," Lyons told the federal courtroom. "You want to see a monster, all you have to do is look in the mirror," she said.

She read her statement in a strong voice and occasionally looked across the aisle at Rudolph.

"It really doesn't matter what you say because I will go back to my home and you will go back to jail. The clinics in town will still be open and abortion will still be legal," Lyons said.

AMEN!

1. Good for her!

I could not imagine the bitterness I would bear -- not just at Rudolph, but also the society that allows Christian terrorists like him to operate, flourish, and obtain support.

2. When he was in hiding

When he was in hiding in North Carolina, he received aid from local residents who supported his "cause". They should be tried for giving aid to him! :grr:

3. Amen All rethugs think the law does not apply to them! n/t

4. Emily Lyons suffered horribly...

...as a result of the bombing. She was horribly disfigured and has had nearly two dozen operations. Her words carry quite a bit of weight in my book.

7. I would have looked him in the face and wished prison rape on him

I'm serious.

And no, I don't want to hear any of that "he is a human being" crapola. Not a human being. A monster, not of the human race.
