Remember those "pro-lifers" who denounced Scott Roeder?
Sounds like Operation Rescue is now rethinking it's "Scott Roeder is a bad man who we don't support in any way" position. But are they truly rethinking it? Or, is this how they though about it all along.

" Troy Newman, president of the anti-abortion group Operation Rescue has denounced Tiller's killing, but said Roeder should be allowed to stand trial and make his case.

“If this is his defense, he should be able to give it - anybody should - and let the jurors decide," Newman said. "

Roeder wants to play a defense that basically says it's OK to kill people not based off in defense of yourself, another person, or property; but because the killer thinks it should be illegal.

Obviously, judges and prosecutors have said that this defense, if successful, would unleash chaos and anarchy.

The anti-choicer agenda:
Stop abortion any way conceivable
Destabilize the United States

Just remember that when this goes to trial.

1. Troy is a
mean and nasty man. Everyone who does not agree with him gets the treatment when he is around. I ran into him once at the Capitol building, literally ran smack into him and he almost knocked me down. Did he say anything? Nope, he knew why I was there and who I was with. I could tell stories but they are not mine to tell. He will continue to denounce what Roeder did but I would bet he supports it.
