With all the news about Texas, Roe vs. Wade, Planned Parenthood, and our United States of Gilead — I’m reposting an autobiographical article I hated writing.
How terrorism works, from ISIS to the abortion wars.

Full disclosure: this article is emotionally heavy. Very heavy.
I was related to Dr. George Tiller by marriage, and had other family who support Army of God - domestic terrorism over abortion was my childhood.

Texas was able to pass those abortion restrictions - and Roe v. Wade is in peril right now - because terrorism already won.
My uncle’s clinic was bombed when I was 5.
I was 27 when they finally assassinated him.
Bullets paved the way for the ballot path to Gilead.

I want to remind you: George Tiller was a devout Christian, a Navy veteran, a Republican.
He endured decades of bombings, murder attempts, acid attacks and more — until they finally assassinated him.
Because he fought for women’s right to choose.

There’s a part in that article where my cousin Jenny talks about how many anti-abortion protestors George treated when she world there — and how they “just made a mistake.”
Not like those other ‘godless whores.’
Hypocrites.

Muting this thread now.
I hated writing that article, and I hate posting it every single time its relevance re-emerges.
I have less than zero desire to hear from those cheering on Texas’ abortion ruling.

Didn't mute it fast enough to avoid "devout Christians" like Eric here -- who celebrates the assassination of my uncle during church, on a Sunday, in the house of God because:
"blood for blood," Eric says.
"And Jesus wept," I might add.
