In Memory of Doctor George Tiller

I was inspired by kemibe who wrote:

I just made a modest donation to Planned Parenthood in honor of George Tiller, the doctor who was gunned down yesterday morning by an established whack job/separatist/bomb-happy felon.
I want these assholes to know that every bullet fired on behalf of their corrupt cause will result in level-headed activism that will only set them back by leaps and bounds. If you care to pony up even $5, you can do that here.

It wasn’t something that I would have thought of doing right off so I’m happy to have this option brought to my attention. Perhaps you will be as well.

Silence is the Enemy

In case you have not read it by now, the Nicholas D. Kristoff Op/Ed in the NYT about the aftermath of civil unrest in Liberia is the trigger. In After Wars, Mass Rapes Persist Kristoff describes an ugly, despicable reality:

Jackie is too young to remember the 14-year civil war in Liberia, from 1989 to 2003, when as many as three-fourths of women were raped. Jackie’s world is one of a bustling, recovering Liberia with a free press and democratically elected leaders.
