may thirty-first

once again i am really behind on news (i have been living under a rock ever since college), but dr. george tiller, one of the very few doctors who were willing to perform late-term abortions, was shot to death a couple of weeks ago, in wichita, kansas. quite ironic, considering that pro-life advocates use the "every life is a precious gift from god" premise as the primary basis for so much of their argument. and as if the irony was not scathing enough as is, tiller was shot while attending church! where would the world be without those silly religious zealots?
