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 (thats 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.
Pro-life ping!
People who support the killing of babies are violent? No, really?
Pray for the baby humans.
It's a death cult after all.
This is misleading. I went to the site to read about the incidents, and it they are listing alot of violence/crimes that involved pregnant women, regardless of the circumstances. For instance some cases of pregnant women being injured or killed (or abuse resulting in the death of the baby) by their boyfriend/spouse. Listing cases of domestic violence as "pro-choice violence" is rather disingenuous. Or, for example a case of a woman who delivered stillborn because of her cocaine use during pregnancy.
There is no doubt that abortion is violent- violent against the baby, against life, against God. There's just no need to fudge statistics. It's dishonest.

I love that cartoon. The NAG gal and the NARAL female look the parts - a busy body and a butch one.
I don't like abortion, but I don't like lies either.
Yes, very definitely a dishonest case of apples vs oranges.
I don't like abortion, but I don't like lies either.
Bingo.
Yep :). Asay uses the BusyBodyB___ in his work many many times when writing about the pro-death camp. I'm glad you like it - sometimes people don't like the use of cartoons to further the message, but I do try to find those with matching themes to the articles. Thanks for the thread!
Heh, I love that cartoon!
Please FreepMail me if you want on or off my Pro-Life Ping List.
Thanks for the ping!
So why do we only hear about something when it is against a Planned Parenthood Clinic or something like that?
This doesn't make sense that this is not publicized all over the place!
Self-ping
I'm shocked, shocked to find that gambling is going on in here!
Then if we want to be honest, we should include the dead babies (by abortion) in the statistics.
