Abortion Rights Leader Nails Hypocrisy Of Anti-Abortion Activists
You can't promote violence and then act surprised when it really happens.

Hilary Hanson
News editor, The Huffington Post

An abortion rights leader is calling out anti-abortion activists who spread lies about -- or incite violence against -- abortion providers, then act appalled when violence actually transpires.

Ilyse Hogue, president of advocacy group NARAL Pro-Choice America, derided two anti-abortionists in the wake of Friday's shooting at a Colorado Planned Parenthood that left three people dead and nine injured.

“The language you choose matters,” she wrote in a Saturday night Facebook post. “You are not free from the judgement of the consequences of your hate-filled rhetoric.”

She specifically mentioned David Daleiden and Troy Newman. Daleiden is the founder of the Center for Medical Progress, the anti-abortion group responsible for heavily manipulated videos that purport to show Planned Parenthood doctors talking about selling fetal parts for profit, and altering their abortion methods so as to leave fetuses intact. Newman, the president of anti-abortion group Operation Rescue, advocated for doctors who provide abortions to be “executed” in his book Their Blood Cries Out, published in 2000.

Straight out of Margaret Atwood's horrific - but, unfortunately, quite plausible - A Handmaid's Tale.

These anti weirdos, stir the pot for crazy types.

They are just as guilty as those that commit horrendous crimes against women's clinics.

Don't even think she's human enough to care, since she's like Trump and all the other little klowns and only cares about herself. The killer kept muttering about "baby body parts". Gee, wonder where he got that fake idea? The RW does not care about babies, even the unborn, they just use them as a tactic to gain/keep power. Just like war. They want to fund all the machines but spend no money for the people that fight the wars. They talk about supporting the service people, but it's just hot air. They only want to support the war machine and only value veterans for running the machine. Once they're home, the rw hates veterans because they are poor.

Back to Carly, I hope she has nightmares every single night and can't get a good nights' rest of the rest of her life. She won't, she'd have to have a conscience, and she doesn't, but it makes a nice dream for me. Justice is needed, she and the film maker need to go to jail for incitement to commit murder and fraud.

Even though she had to know that story was bogus, she wouldn't give it up, wallowed in it endlessly.

What an evil thing she is, she and her fellow women-haters, and power worshippers.

I would wish a pox on her, her family and her followers, but I'd prefer to let the almost-Newtonian forces of Karma mete out the appropriate punishment.

All pregnancies need to be birth, allowed to grow up without government assistant only GOD's teaching and help and if by some odd reason they do not following his teachings, like pro-abortion and even worst become a abortion provider than GOD deems that person's life forfeited.
