New Study Shows Pro-Choicers More Likely to Spread Violence

A new research project is raising serious doubt about claims from abortion supporters who say pro-lifers are violent people. The study suggests that, despite their assertions to the contrary, pro-choicers may be the more frequent perpetrators of violence.Throughout the abortion debate in America, pro-abortion activists have accused pro-lifers of spreading violence; however, Human Life International's senior analyst, Brian Clowes, has just completed a project that suggests the complete opposite is the case. "Seven murders are carried out by so called pro-life people in the time period 1993 to 1998," he notes, "and yet we've documented over 500 murders done by people who are pro-choice."
Clowes documented those murders by pro-choicers in three categories: actual murders by abortionists and pro-choice advocates; men who killed their pregnant girlfriends and wives who refused to abort their babies; and other individuals who killed women because they were pregnant.
"For every single instance of so-called 'pro-life extreme violence' -- which is murder, attempted murder, kidnapping and arson -- we have 80 instances of pro-choice extreme violence," the researcher says. Meanwhile, he points out, "We have a lot of news media that's directed entirely towards talking about how pro-life people are supposed to be so violent, and the pro-choicers are all mild-mannered, nice people."
In other words, Clowes explains, "what we have here is a kind of imbalance" between the truth and the common perception. "And I'd like to try to balance this out, showing that the abortion culture is really violent in all of its aspects," he says. The details of Clowes research project have been made available online. The report can be seen on the website ProChoiceViolence.com.

The pro-life people are non-violent, the study is right. Pro-life people are doing the Lord's work by praying at abortion mills and trying to have the mothers turn away to save the life of the baby and to save the mother from a lifetime of depression and other medical ailments. They are faced with violent people at the mills, by people driving or walking by, and by the very people who kill the babies daily, the staff. You can actually smell the evil that permeates from the mill. And what they should also study is the political affiliation of those who are in jail or prosecuted for violent crimes: the animal rights activists, the pro-aborts, the gang bangers, drug dealers, the armed robbers, the violent peace activists and all the incarcerated inmates and felons.
If you are a democrat it's OK for one to kill a human baby, but don't kill that canadian goose, shoot that bear or conduct legal research on animals in a lab. They will assault and attack you. And don't participate in a support our troops rally, the same will happen to you.

Not surprising. Ripping a tiny baby to pieces is surely the ultimate violence.

I've always been a skeptic of 'studies' on every front, so forgive me if I ask a simple but direct question.
This study 'assumes' that murderers who kill their girlfriends/wives, etc are pro-choice, which on the surface of course makes sense. But I would have to question how many of these were actually involved in the Pro-Choice movement?
If you only include the activists engaged in the debate of abortion, does the study hold the same truths? Or are we opening up the population as we define it to suit our needs?
I'm just trying to be objective, I DETEST abortion lovers, but I don't want to use 'bad studies' as a tool against them, it only makes me look stupid!!!

Why are they still called "pro-choice"? The only choice they make is where to have their child killed and how much to pay the abortionist. "Pro-Abort" sounds just about right, doncha' think?

It shouldn't surprise anyone - if they don't respect human life at one stage, how can they respect it at all stages?

I think it is in our nature to protect the young. Dosen't make any difference whose child it is, any threat toward it is a threat to all. Rightly so!

It documents murders. The rationality of a study can take many forms. It shows that pro choicers are murderers. How refreshing. If you listen to the baby killers you would think they are angels. This article just seeks to throw a little mud on all those angels. Keeps them off balance.
Its kind of like saying you have stopped beating your wife.
To: Aussie Dasher
That's right-what could be more violent than an abortion? The hard core Liberals are just basically nasty, mean people.

To: HeartOfDixie56
If you murder your girlfriend to kill your baby, you are part of the "pro-choice movement", 'cause that's what it's all about.
They're just cutting out the middleman is all.
I think you are trying to differentiate between different kinds of activists though ~

Makes perfect sense. Anyone who thinks abortion is ok, is pro violence.

abortion supporters say pro-lifers are violent people .... pro-choicers may be the more frequent perpetrators of violence This is the silliest thread I have ever seen. Maybe we should settle it with a fist fight?

how many of these were actually involved in the Pro-Choice movement. Sin/behavior begins in the mind or thought process before it ever is acted out, you don't need to be in a movement.
