Abortion Doctor Murdered In Kansas

Ugh. (L.A. Times) Bet you a nickel the murderer is a church-going Christian with a pastor who regularly spoke passionately against abortion. Happy Sunday, everyone.

UPDATE: Joan Walsh, the editor of the excellent online magazine Salon, has a pretty good blog post here. People following the story are going to hear the phrase "Christian Terrorism" a lot in the next few days. It's still unclear with the killing is motivated by religion--though it seems unlikely it wouldn't be. We'll have to wait and see.

UPDATE 2: A suspect is in custody, reports the Kansas newspaper Wichita Eagle. The Eagle is following this story--if you're interested keep an eye on developments at kansas.com, here.
