They may claim to be crusaders on behalf of unborn children, but there is more hate here than love. I don’t know how many times I have heard anti-abortion activists say that women who die from illegal abortions “get what’s coming to them.” When I did clinic escort duty in Chicago, the anti’s kicked us and spat on us. They linked arms around us, chanting “Christ-killers, baby-killers” as we helped women through their gauntlet.
Their ringleader, who said he was a Catholic seminarian, told us that they did these things “to make sure these girls have help living their lives right.” He then ran over a clinic guard with his car.

The Bitter Taste Of One’s Own Medicine of the Day: The Tennessee state senator who sponsored the controversial “Don’t Say Gay” bill — which aims to prohibit teachers from discussing homosexuality in the classroom — was refused service at a Knoxville restaurant because of his anti-gay views.
“I hope that [Stacey] Campfield now knows what it feels like to be unfairly [discriminated] against,” The Bistro at the Bijou wrote on their Facebook page.
Reached for comment, Sen. Campfield, who just days ago defended his assertion that it is “virtually impossible” to contract AIDS “through heterosexual sex,” confirmed he was kicked out, saying “I went in there and the lady started calling me names and wouldn’t serve me.”
According to Campfield, the hostess called him a homophobe and accused him of hating homosexuals. “In my business I do rental properties and I’ve rented to homosexuals, mixed-race couples, black couples,” countered Campfield.
He believes the restaurant treated him unfairly. “If you don’t think the way certain people think, then they think you don’t have a right to be served,” he told Buzzfeed.
People denying other people rights simply because they have a different worldview? I agree, Senator. That’s unacceptable.
