MURDER, POLITICS, AND THE END OF THE JAZZ AGE
by Michael Wolraich
Anti-feminist Phyllis Schlafly has taken to her blog to call for the resignation of Republican political operative Karl Rove over remarks he made about U.S. Senate candidate Rep. Todd Akin “We should sink Todd Akin. If he’s found mysteriously murdered, don’t look for my whereabouts!”
Schlafly has reacted furiously to Rove’s statement, calling it “incredibly offensive and dangerous.”
Because of course we all know that we should only talk about murdering abortion providers.

A law under consideration in South Dakota would expand the definition of "justifiable homicide" to include killings that are intended to prevent harm to a fetus—a move that could make it legal to kill doctors who perform abortions. the South Dakota branch of Phyllis Schlafly's Eagle Forum, and a political action committee called Family Matters in South Dakota—all testified in favor of the amended version of the law.
