Cartoon depicts pro-life activist celebrating clinic closure after doctor's death
PRO-LIFE EXTREME COLOR by Mike Keefe, politicalcartoons.com
The June 2009 cartoon by Mike Keefe shows a suited man holding a PRO-LIFE EXTREME sign outside a clinic while declaring the doctor dead and the facility closed. A second figure in a blood-stained apron responds amen from the doorway. The image appeared days after the May 31 assassination of abortion provider George Tiller in Wichita. It captures the tension between fervent anti-abortion activism and clinic violence during that period.
