This right down the street from me. Ironically, it's across the street from the fire station.

BERWYN HEIGHTS, Md. -- A woman who set herself on fire in an apparent anti-abortion protest Friday was hospitalized in critical condition.

Police in Berwyn Heights said the woman doused herself in gasoline outside an abortion clinic at 60th Avenue and Greenbelt Road, then walked toward the clinic.

Police Capt. Richard Hartnett said an officer who happened to be nearby saw the woman and used a fire extinguisher to put out the flames. The officer reportedly knocked the woman to the ground in the effort to extinguish her. The woman was airlifted to a hospital with severe burns over much of her body.

Police found another can of gasoline in the woman's car, along with an envelope with a note inside it. A Washington television station reported the envelope had the word "Kerry" written on it and may have been intended for Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry.

Police won't comment about the contents of the note. Officers at the scene said the woman didn't mention Kerry as she was being rescued.

So much for the value of human life. I guess she dosen't value hers much.

3. Finally!

I have been suggesting this to the antiabortnoids for years. I guess only one was really serious about those pweshush pweborn poppets - or perhaps she's just even more fucked in the head than the usual antiabortnoid, and that's saying something.
