Not every murder is terrorism. Some are, though.

Liberals are chomping at the bit to label the Colorado abortion clinic attack "domestic, homegrown, Christian terrorism."

It certainly seems most likely that the killings were motivated by anti-abortion sentiment in the heart of Robert Lewis Dear, perhaps particularly fired by the Planned Parenthood controversy, just as they think, though of course it could turn out that it was all to do with something entirely different.

But in any case that would still not be terrorism.

A campaign of terrorism against abortion providers and women seeking abortions would by no means be impossible, by one or more organizations or by self-coordinating "lone wolves," but I am not aware anything like that is or has been under way.

Which is not to say nobody among the anti-abortionists wishes there were such a thing; just that wishing doesn't make it so.

But were it so that sort of thing would be far less a danger to the public, and have far less impact on government policy, than the Jihad, given differences in target selection, choice of weapons, and intended and actual body counts achieved by single attacks.

And I would think it would be a lot easier to put a stop to.

And PP does traffic in body parts, pettifogging denials notwithstanding.

Some people just want to label anything they don't like as terrorism.

Oddly, of Muslim terrorists we hear from liberals that their violence originates in anything but Islam, which they have hijacked to provide themselves the phony legitimacy of a bogus cause.

Hmm.
