If you're like me, you might be having a hard time wrapping your head around the horrific murder of Dr. George Tiller. We'll be holding a vigil later tonight (details coming shortly) but in the meantime here are some of the pieces I've been reading to try and understand this gut-wrenching tragedy:

• The fabulous Michelle Golderg on the history of violence and right-wing extremism.




• Christina Page on whether this murder is a foreshadowing.




• The great blog Amplify has a heartening statement from the National Network of Abortion Funds on how they won't be backing down from their work.




• Shannon Moore has a good piece on Christian Fundamentalist Terrorism.




• Jill Filipovic on who killed Dr. Tiller.




• And Feministing is keeping a list of vigils around the country.

So tell us, what have you been reading? What have you found helpful?
