An Army of God manual. A prison cookbook compiled by a woman doing time for abortion clinic bombings and arsons. An autographed bullhorn.

These are among the items that abortion foes plan to auction on eBay and other Web sites in a fundraiser for Scott Roeder, the Kansas City man charged with killing Wichita abortion doctor George Tiller.

“This is unique,” said Regina Dinwiddie, a Kansas City anti-abortion activist who will sign the bullhorn. “Nobody’s ever done this before. The goal is that everybody makes money for Scott Roeder’s defense.”

One abortion-rights leader called the auction deplorable and said it could lead to more violence.

“The network of extremists promoting and defending the murder of doctors is contributing to escalating threats against clinics and doctors across the country,” said Kathy Spillar, executive vice president of the Feminist Majority Foundation.

Roeder, charged with first-degree murder in the May 31 shooting of Tiller, is scheduled to go to trial in January.

In my opinion, those supporting this auction are supporting domestic terrorism and, as Ms. Spillar says, "contributing to escalating threats against clinics and doctors across the country."

1. I thought terrorists didn't get trials

or maybe it's different if you are a white fundamentalist Christian.

3. I thought funding terrorists

was treason.

But I guess the same exceptions apply.

4. I should have added to my OP that I do hope Roeder gets a fair trial.

I hope the system bends over backward to ensure that each and every one of his rights is protected and that he has not a shred of reason to appeal his eventual conviction.
