In a trial watched closely by those on both sides of the abortion debate, Dr. George Tiller, a Kansas physician accused of performing 19 illegal late-term abortions, was found innocent today. The six-person jury, three men and three women, deliberated for less than an hour.
So it's over, right?
Um. No.
"We are extremely disappointed," said the Rev. Patrick Mahoney, a Presbyterian minister and pacifist who has worked with Operation Rescue. "We were thrilled that George Tiller even went to trial. This will not stop us at all."
It's NEVER over for the fetus fetishists.

Can you spot the oxymoron?
Waiting to hear back from Sassywho on this. Will update as soon as she pings me.
[drift]What does mattt mean by 'ping' in this case? Is this a techie thing I'm missing?[/drift]
It would be the sound of a msg arriving via twitter on his cell/Blackberry/laptop, I think.
Very telling, isn't it, that the jury took less than an hour to decide these charges were bogus. People are often smarter than the would-be manipulators expect. Good thing, too.
