1. Sam Brownback is dumping about 150 profoundly mentally disabled people out into the streets here.

3. Rachel just said that they will be covering the abortion rights story
After Dr. Mila Means was on her program last night the anti abortion rights group went to her home and protested. But as you point out there are more things going on in Kansas that need attention. It's horrific for those patients and their families.

7. I would say that anyone, including journalists, are in a dangerous
situation covering that Kansas anti-abortion bunch. They are dangerous, fanatical murderers.

14. Tell that to Dr. Tiller.
Once RW extremists decide someone is "the enemy," they seem to have no problem deciding to issue a fatwa against that person. Oh, and I live in Kansas, too.

And I've had something like five shootings within a few blocks of my house in the last couple years. So spare me.

Makes me question their intentions. Did they get the result they wanted this last round? Anyway - Go Wisconsin!
