lets see...abortion is legal under our constitution. so people who terrorize,kill providers of a medical service are not domestic terrorists? the people who support that behavior are not terror sympathyzers against women ?

All one has to do is re-watch the O'Reilly show - especially the shows/segments leading up and too when the Dr. was ki11ed.

Interesting that Reverend Spitz advised Moose to not post the bombmaking info on his facebook page because the people who wanted bombs could get the info elsewhere and not because advocating bombs is wrong. Such a good Christian Reverend who believes in the sanctity of life. And the christians complain that they are picked on for being hypocrites.

The main thing I notice is that this ''christian'' group that this guy was part of was made up of converts from a different religion, yet christians are taking the heat.

He was a Lutheran; Lutherans are evangelical but most people stay Lutheran from birth.

Republicans believe a woman can't be trusted with decisions about her own body, but international corporations can make decisions affecting all mankind without regulation.

Sadly, it would not surprise me in the slightest to hear that people knew and supported the murder...

Well Bill O' certainly did - even advertised it over and over again.

This item has sure brought out an interesting group of commentators.

Hopefully there will be prosecutions. This kind of thing has to stop. I have a Jewish friend who went to a high holy day service and there were even demonstrators there and she was terrorized. Since when did we in America become so racist?

All you have to do is read the comments on the Kansas' paper web page where the article sits to get  a good idea of the mentality of our future political and gov. leaders. Handmaidens Tale.

A great name for what you try to do. Who is the extremist here?

“Despite the tremendous budget devoted to building any kind of case possible, and especially how rare it is that there is even an illegal action any more, (another grand jury) reminds me of Chicken Little with his warning that the sky is falling,” said Dave Leach, an Iowa anti-abortion activist and friend of Roeder
"
 
What tremendous budget?  Grand juries are impaneled all the time and hear many, many requests for indictments.

I hope for the sake of our collective sanity as a nation, and the preservation of Democracy in this country, Prosecutors are able to prove conspiracy on these radical anti-abortionists who terrorize women, doctors (obviously) and thumb their nose at secular society and our laws. Maybe that would send a shock wave through the hearts or many would-be apologists and supporters of these right wing radicals. Convictions would give real teeth to investigations in the future, and would also do allot toward ending this form of domestic, religious based terrorism in The United States.

Chances are they can't or won't. When you can count attorneys as members in your little murderous group, chances are those versed with the law have already figured out how to act beyond it's reach by understanding exactly what they need to  avoid doing (or have a paper trail doing) to be deserve the legal label of "conspiracy".

Actually, I qualified my post with "I think." Then I closed out by acknowledging that my presupposition may be incorrect.

Therefore, I couldn't have been wrong about anything because I made no claim or assertion. Harvee, I love your drink, but I don't understand your logic.

According to the article--"So far, none of Roeder’s supporters — many of whom vocally support the killing of abortion doctors as an act of justifiable homicide — have been subpoenaed by the grand jury"

Didn't a man who threatened the president in a poem just receive a three year prison sentence?  Why should Roeder's supporters be walking the streets?  They sound like a terrorist group to me, especially since they are called "the army of God".
