Munitions? Hardtack? Maybe the women will sell their virgin hair for wigs?

Don't sell it.

If this happens, the blame would fall on the person(s) with the power to decide: current owners.

The clinic should become The Museum of Domestic Terrorism. It should review the cases of Eric Rudolph, Richard Poplawski, Timothy McVeigh, Scott Roeder, et al. It should also illustrate the ties between the ones who pulled the trigger or detonated the bombs, and the media and politicians who supported them.

Wow, now there's the Christian thing to do: shamelessly exploit a religiously and politically motivated murder while feigning disapproval of it -- for publicity.

Operation Rescue was founded by a bully and is populated by bullies. And they do it in the name of God.

Sell it to them for a high price in cash, and then donate the proceeds to help get abortions.

I know he is no longer technically affiliated with this group, but obviously he has influence. They probably want to turn this into an anti-choice monument. A rallying place for their troops. They don't have a lot of rallying places in that area now that they've shut down all of the clinics that provide abortions. I hope that the family refuses to sell to them. I'm betting they won't - but if they aren't careful, then whoever buys the building might sell it to them. It would be a sad legacy if the building that saved so many women became a monument for the people who instigated Tiller's assassination.

yes, tell them they can buy it and then donate the cash to the George Tiller Fund.

We can all take turns bombing the building and killing the employees and the government won't do anything about it, right? I mean fair's fair.

Seriously this kind of economic warfare happens all the time and is a favorite tactic of the Christian Right. A about 12 years ago some friends of mine opened a pagan book store, a "witch nook", in Vancouver, Washington. They did alright and did a lot to build up the pagan community in the area and made a pretty good living until some people from the local Baptist Church got together and bought the building they were housed in. The new owners immedeately cancelled their lease and gave them 30 days to move out. It's a Christian book store now.

This didn't have anything to do with the "invisible hand of the free market" it was deliberate supression of a minority religion through economic means.

These people are for real. They really believe that they are doing GOD'S WORK(tm)and DEFENDING THE TRUE FAITH(tm). The end always justifies the means with these folks. Just like Tourqemada and Lennon and Bin Laden. They are Christians first, then American's if it's convienient and doesn't conflict with their first loyalty. And I have no idea how to keep them from hurting everyone they don't approve of without violating every tenent of a free, secular democracy.

They will probably get sued. Better to have some assets on hand to sell when they have to.

Let operation Rescue move into the building. Than block the doors and set the place on fire. I'd pay money to see that.

Lawyers for a Catholic advocacy group that sued San Francisco for condemning the Vatican's policy on same-sex adoptions are comparing the city's supervisors to Nazis laying the groundwork for the slaughter of Jews.

In a statement responding to last week's ruling by a federal appeals court in the city's favor, Richard Thompson, president and chief counsel of the Thomas More Law Center, used a German term for the Nazi policy of forced conformity to party doctrine and the elimination of opposition groups in the 1930s:

"It is not a stretch to compare the San Francisco board's actions to that of the Nazi Germany policy of Gleichschaltung, vilifying Jews as an auxiliary to and laying the groundwork for more repressive policies, including the final solution of extermination."

He was referring to the supervisors' March 2006 resolution denouncing a Vatican order to Catholic Charities not to place adoptive children with same-sex couples. In the decree, Cardinal William Levada, the former San Francisco archbishop who now heads the church's Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, said allowing gay or lesbian couples to adopt children "would actually mean doing violence to these children."

So, this is completely not sarcastic: Could somebody here explain why this is so awful? If the clinic is going to be closed permanently anyway, why does it matter who buys the property? Who cares? Why are TCF and commenters here upset?

Might Planned Parenthnood buy the building? My husband and I would happily donate money to make that happen.

There should be some way to raise enough money to keep that clinic in business. Someone on our side should be trying to raise the money and getting some good doctors in there. I have no idea how to go about doing that, but there's got to be enough support out there to make it happen.

Greg Cleveland has a great idea except he has the wrong terrorists.

I propose that the museum show the wonderous works of George Tiller:

The number of babies he slaughtered.

The ruined lives of the women he provided services for.

Pictures of the infants with their brains sucked out.

A video showing the actual patial birth murder with, say a nine month old baby that would have survived.

Infant trophy's in the trash can with George Tiller and his staff proudly admiring his days work.

A detailed description of how the infants kicked while their brains were being suctioned into the canister vacuum.

A great neon sign to the god of convienance!

Yes, a memorial to legal terrorism is a great idea!

I guess I read too many murder mysteries and talk to too many cops -- the first question in a killing is ALMOST ALWAYS: "Cui bono?" (Who benefits?")

That goes hand in hand with the other way homicide detectives set direction of the investigation --- as George Orwell (I seem to recall it was he) had a character think in one of his works, a character who was having bitterness with his wife: "I had thought of killing her, but of course the police always know it was the husband -- whether they can prove it or not, they ALWAYS know it was the husband."

(Which may have had something to do with the jury's disbelief of the LAPD in the O.J. trial-- not just the racist cop who swore under oath he'd NEVER said THAT N... WORD -- but the two cops who went over the wall before the search warrant arrived because "they were concerned that Mr Simpson might have ALSO been killed."

The Rescue people had nothing to do with the murder .. of course not ... same as John Negroponte never knew there were Death Squads during his tenure in Central America (even though he signed their checks, so to speak)and Claude Rains never knew -- was shocked to discover -- there was gambling going on at Rick's Cafe Americain in Casablanca

Are there no longer laws relating to inciting to committing a crime, accessory to murder, accessory before the fact, conspiracy to commit murder?
