Abortion opponents looking to help Scott Roeder, the Kansas City man charged with killing abortion doctor George Tiller, have organized an unusual auction: They plan to sell a trove of anti-abortion memorabilia on eBay (EBAY).

According to an article in the Kansas City Star, the auction will include a host of items, including an Army of God manual, a “prison cookbook” assembled by a woman serving time for abortion-clinic bombings and arsons, and a bullhorn autographed by a Kansas City anti-abortion activist.

Roeder, charged with first-degree murder in the May 31 shooting of Tiller, is scheduled to go to trial in January.
