A Kansas-based anti-abortion group called Operation Rescue has dreamed up a new way to stop abortions: they’re buying clinics. Their headquarters in Wichita, Kansas are in a former abortion clinic, but because they’re finding the place is a little small, they’re thinking about offering to buy the clinic that was recently shut down after Dr. George Tiller was murdered. This is beyond tacky, since Dr. Tiller was shot at church, and the main suspect is crazed lunatic Scott Roeder, who had been known to post on Operation Rescue’s blog. Plus, Operation Rescue had been targeting this clinic for years now, staging massive, sometimes violent, protests going as far back as 1991.
Operation Rescue’s prez Troy Newman likes the symobolism of taking over the space and “establishing [it] as a center for life, one that nurtures and cares for babies, rather than taking their lives.” We say, there has to be another building available in Wichita that would work. [AP]

Excellent, then they can use thier old building that’s “too small” to house all the orphaned crack babies, AIDS babies, and generally unwanted and un-cared for babies in the world. Why don’t these people worry about the ones that are already here before they go around bitching about the ones that aren’t?
Someone should should drop off a bus-load of neglected orphans for them to take care of.

I completely agree. This is totally tacky. I would rather a woman choose this than give birth to a child she doesn’t want that will likely end up neglected or given up. Maybe these groups should also focus on better/free birth control, so that women who don’t want children but can’t afford BC won’t get pregnant to begin with. I know there are some women who just don’t care, but these groups lump them all into the same category, no matter what the situation is.

Whether or not it’s tacky isn’t relevant to the fact that it’s their right to buy any property the owner wants to sell them. If anyone wants to start a new clinic in the city, it’s not like that building is SUPER SPECIAL or anything. I don’t see what the big deal is.
