A video posted on YouTube, excerpts a video of an assault on a pro-life demonstrator in British Columbia on April 10, 2006 (full video at sick pro-abortion attack on pro-life protestor. The producer of the video, then states that "pro-life people make it seem as if pro-choice (or in their terms, 'pro-abortion') people are violent and ruthless."
In response to this, the producer posts a series of "facts" compiled by the National Abortion Federation, including "482 cases of stalking, 380 death threats, 152 assaults, 173 cases of arson, 17 attempted murders, and 7 murders."
The video producer then concludes, "So, a few measly attacks against pro-lifers, compared to 5,461 cases of violence against pro-choice people? It makes you wonder who the real violent, ruthless people are."
Well, if you were wondering who "the real violent, ruthles people are," one cannot ignore the acts of so-called "anti-choice" violence. On the other hand, all mainstream pro-life groups have condemned all acts of violence done against abortionists and their supporters, and I hardly trust the National Abortion Federation's statistics.
There is, however, a web source that has compiled the data on pro-abortion violence. Human Life International has dedicated a site, Prochoiceviolence.com, for this purpose.
Some of the statistics compiled by HLI:
-880 homicides and other killings (broken into categories on the main page)
-86 attempted murders
-787 assaults
-1,798 sex crimes (including 169 rapes)
-59 kidnappings
-420 cases of vandalism
-270 drug-related crimes
-1,577 medical crimes
"Deadly pro-abortion violence has been reported at least since 1965 and is escalating rapidly, with an incredible 269 homicides and other killings committed in just the last six years (since 2000). 2005 was the bloodiest year, with pro-abortionists murdering 77 people, including 28 pregnant women (and their 28 wanted preborn babies), two baby boys, one little boy and five little girls, four men and two women, and seven other wanted preborn babies. The pro-abortionists almost matched this bloody slaughter in 2002, with 58 deaths, and in 2003, with 53 deaths. In fact, pro-abortionists have averaged more murders per year since 1967 (that’s 39 years in a row) than so-called “pro-lifers” have in the history of the entire conflict over abortion!"
Will we ever the "pro-choicers" condemn the acts of violence done against pro-lifers? I have my doubts.
And maybe we also killed a lot of Germans in WWII.
"Attempted murder [by alleged pro-lifers]: 17".
Very, very interesting. Not to mention a very, very low figure considering the violence and smack in the face to justice of abortion itself. Only 17 attempted murders (presumably over 30 years) in response to 50,000,000 actual ones. Even 1,700 would be quite low under present circumstances. I'm glad it's only 17 and hope there are no more.
What was missing from the film: successful murders in U.S. and Canada: over 50,000,000. And the hapless victims still await justice... I'm really not sure, when ALL human beings are finally valued and protected, what term of national mourning would be appropriate given the surrealistic scale of this holocaust.
What will remain is this: as long as pro-choicers continue to pretend abortion is "no big deal", that there is no holocaust, that the baby magicially "poofs" into personhood at the moment the cord is cut AND AT THE SAME TIME refuse to educate themselves about its cold, objective, emperical, scientific reality, they have zip-zero-nada credibility. They are living in a fantasy world divorced from a reality verifiable under the scientific method.
Any figures in the hundreds or even thousands are to be taken with a grain of salt (weighed in a cold, objective, mathematical way) considering the 50,000,000 pound elephant in the room. I am fairly certain, even if 50,000 women have been diced in exactly the same way as most of the 50,000,000 babies have been, that would be a small thing.
In mathematical terms under this imaginary scenario, that huge number of horrific crimes would be 1/1000 of the violence committed against those most in need of legal protection, i.e. those least able to protect themselves. The question them becomes, why is it "no big deal" to dice an innocent and helpless human being, but a horrific crime to do the same to an adult?
