Tiller's Killing "Equivalent of Martin Luther King Being Assassinated"

The Washington Times's Julia Duin reports that late-term abortionist LeRoy Carhart called

on the federal government Monday to treat all activities by "anti-choice domestic terrorists" as hate crimes after last week's fatal shooting of Dr. George Tiller.

"This is the equivalent of Martin Luther King being assassinated," he said of the killing of one of the nation's best known late-term abortion doctors. "This is the equivalent of Pearl Harbor, the sinking of the Lusitania and any other major historic event where we've tolerated the intolerable for too long."

It looks like Carhart, one of the few abortionists in the country willing to dismember or poison to death healthy babies (oops, I mean "fetuses") of healthy women during the third-trimester, is doing his part to help mitigate the recent blowback against pro-lifers with this absurd comparison.
