The bombings and burnings and various physical attacks on abortion facilities were tardy as a national response.  And the terminations of a three abortionists in Florida and New York in the decade of the nineties was a more serious but very late response an ongoing holocaust which was then taking an annual 1.5 million lives. <\/p>\n<p>In the name if truth and justice and in the hope of national repentance, may the reformation of our society begin with Kansas.  Such a spirit was came once before upon a man named John Brown whose picture is painted in the halls of the capital in Topeka. It was another issue in another time, but it was a horrible injustice just the same. There is an opportunity in this trial for the people, represented by the jurors, to recover themselves from the ethical stupor in which the nation has continued to flounder.   <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Michael Bray August, 2009 A Short Response to the Termination of Tiller.
