Operation Rescue turns its sights on Nebraska abortion doctor

By Barb Shelly, Kansas City Star editorial page columnist

Operation Rescue, the aggressive anti-abortion group based in Wichita, Kan., made tracks to distance itself from the murder early this month of abortion doctor George Tiller.

But now the group, which hounded Tiller for years, is turning its sights on LeRoy Carhart, the Nebraska-based physician who regularly assisted Tiller.

Operation Rescue has put out the word that it wants to hear from women who sought abortions from Carhart in the last five years. It's doing a "research project" on Carhart, according to its website.

If experience is any guide, this "research project" will result in unverifiable and downright bogus allegations, which the group will make public. It's the sort of information that just might inflame an unbalanced person like Scott Roeder, the man accused of shooting Tiller in his church -- where, by the way, Operation Rescue had protested and disrupted services numerous times.

But when tragedy occurs, Operation Rescue's leaders are shocked and appalled. Or so they say.

1. Sounds like Op Rescue could use a little "researching" of their own.

These guys win because WE DON'T ORGANIZE AND FIGHT BACK.

2. If they were truly a rescue operation

their time and money would go into finding adoptive parents for babies, helping pay for the care of profoundly incapacitated babies brought to term, helping pay for better pre-natal care of women, lobbying Congress to strengthen the social safety net for unwed mothers and wedded poor mothers.

Of course they don't. So their name is a misnomer. Better to call them Operation Persecution, because that is what they do.
