Thankfully, other [folks](http://isak.typepad.com/isak/2009/05/on-dr-george-tiller.html) are [doing](http://www.salon.com/opinion/walsh/politics/2009/05/31/george_tiller_murdered/) a much [better](http://www.feministe.us/blog/archives/2009/05/31/abortion-provider-dr-tiller-shot-dead-at-wichita-church/) job of [responding](http://bitchphd.blogspot.com/2009/05/shit-shit-shit-shit-shit-shit.html) to this horror than I can right now, so I’ll just direct you their way, except to say a quiet thank you for a life of [extraordinary courage](http://www.feministing.com/archives/014560.html), and a small prayer of hope that this act of terrorism might be recognized for what it is.

\[Update, 2.29 pm: Holy effing crap. [This](http://www.salon.com/wires/ap/us/2009/05/31/D98HENGO1_us_tiller_reaction/index.html) is what I’m talking about: “\[Randall\] Terry said he was now concerned that the Obama administration ‘will use Tiller’s killing to intimidate pro-lifers into surrendering our most effective rhetoric and actions.'” Am I wrong in interpreting “our most effective rhetoric and actions” as acts specifically designed to terrorize?\]
