I've been by that place a lot and never noticed Planned Parenthood's facility.

Add to this the story about a man from our town who went to Madison with a gun for the expressed purpose of "killing an abortion Doctor". He's currently ordered to stand trial in Federal Court in Madison.

The GOP has whipped up the rhetoric to a fever pitch which has driven the nutcases from the shadows to the forefront.

Damn.
