The death of George Tiller was our first indication at what was to come. Anti-choice activists have been running out ways to scare and shame people out of abortions, so it seems some of them have chosen violence. This isn't something that is an isolated incident. George Tiller, before being gunned down by a domestic TERRORIST was previously shot in his arms and had his clinic bombed. He wasn't the only one. In the 90s, abortion clinics were bombed mercilessly with doctors and even women going into the clinics beaten, sometimes to death, right outside.

The shooting inside the Holocaust Museum was done out of nothing but pure hatred. The perpetrator is a known anti-Semitic white supremacist. He previously attempted to hold the Federal Reserve Board hostage. His actions are in line with what we define as TERRORISM.

Dictionary.com defines terrorism as such: the use of violence and threats to intimidate or coerce, esp. for political purposes.

George Tiller was killed because he was an late-term abortion provider. His murder was used to scare those who do the same. His murder was to be a victory for anti-choice proponents since he was one of the few providers in the country.

The Holocaust Museum shooting was done to scare Jews and "sympathizers." It was done to intimidate these communities and keep them on the defensive.

It'a about time we start calling terrorists terrorists. These men, and many more as well, are terrorists. Anyone who commits a hate crime is a terrorist. Any use of violence or threats to get one's way is an instance of terrorism.

But let's not stop at identifying these people as terrorists. Let's start prosecuting them as terrorists as well.

EDIT: RIP Stephen Tyrone Johns. He was a security guard who was shot by the suspect.
