That sentence is not only idiotic, it makes no sense whatsoever. If you believe abortion is wrong in "almost any circumstances", surely you'd find performing any abortions at all "specially repulsive"?
The other point there is that du Fresne is so clearly (wilfully?) ignorant of how Tiller actually did "make his living".
Anyone who cared would have been able to find out that Tiller's clinic provided a range of care services for women, including maternal and neonatal. His patients seem to go out of their way to emphasise how caring he was.
There's a very informative statement along those lines here.

Glad you liked The Checks' album too. It's interesting that they recorded it very quickly, and thus captured the moment of where they were.
It does make me wonder how the first one would've sounded if they'd done that the same way.

Re du Fresne: being a professional curmudgeon is one thing: being plain ignorant is another.
I'd say he was endorsing extrajudicial execution, were it not for the fact that Tiller never even committed an offence.
A few late-term abortions are carried out here every year too. Is du Fresne suggesting that it'd be okay for vigilantes to off the doctors involved?
I'm sorry, but what an idiot.

Fixed. It's a particular combination of characters that does it.

Off-topic, but hey, whose site is it?
Totally bizarre ideological implosion by de facto Republican leader Rush Limbaugh:
Boycott General Motors in protest at the government bailout.
TPM commenters then queue up to point out what's wrong with this picture.

It's coming and it might have been here sooner had one of our developers not been a rockstar in iPhone dev, and thus away at the Apple WWDC.
Meanwhile ... I heard something about evidence that didn't get to the jury that I still struggle to believe. But from a pretty good source ...

Gordon Campbell is good value on Rodney's new pet plan.

When will I get bored with my iPhone?
With your current one?
24fps video camera recording -- with onscreen editing!
It's quite amusing that the NZ Apple Store has the new iPhone 3Gs -- just not the price, which is likely to be horrifying for those of us already stuck with Vodafone plans for our totally uncool old iPhones.

Yes. I'm sure Jonathan didn't mean to breach the order, but I've taken out the offending passage and I'd be grateful if everyone could keep to this.

The problem with local government is not its spending, but rather its funding.
And the pressure on spending isn't from social and cultural initiatives, but from the increased regulatory load and from the demands of what even Rodney would concede is core business like transport. This is ideological, not practical.
Surely it would make sense for councils to get a share of GST spent in their areas?
Heh. Good luck with that.
