Must not have been too serious if he was released from the hospital in just two days.

What? I’ve seen people have major operations and be released before that. Did you not read the whole story that describe his injuries? I’d call it pretty serious, they said that the doctors feared his death, how much more serious can you get?

God can bring so much good out of bad. Praying for this man’s recovery and the for the rest of them.

Must not have been too serious if he was released from the hospital in just two days.

His medical report outlines the extent of his injuries: “multiple trauma, right subarachnoid hemorrhage (bleeding in the area between the brain and the tissues that cover the brain), compression fractures of four vertebrae (T3, T4, T5 and T10), right scapula fracture and fracture of the fourth and fifth ribs.”

A subarachnoid hemorrhage can be fatal. A complete examination of the medical record is needed.

Agitated, the man replied: “I did not assault him, I just pushed him,” with an aggressiveness that made Mr. McTernan fearful for his own safety.

If that is true, then it is an admission of guilt in assault and battery, IMHO.

Pro-lifers: guilty until proven innocent.

What an upside-down world we live in.

"possibly intentional infliction of emotional distress.. "

I dunno about this one. The perp could make the same claim about the victim. Shouting out at a women about abortion could be considered intentional infliction of emotional distress. Not defending abortion btw...so no one take this comment that way please.

I hope you realize, as I mentioned in my postscript, I was being sarcastic.

McTernan, “leaped on the vehicle with Ed and catapulted him off of the vehicle and onto the ground.” Mr. Snell hit his back and head on the pavement and was knocked unconscious.

Sounds like Mr. Snell has a good civil case against McTernan, but being the man that he is, he probably won't persue it, I think if he did that to me, I’d want to get into his pocketbook, knowwhatimean? Kudos to you Mr. Snell for all the babies your are saving from murder.

Please, be more specific. IMHO, that was your postscript, i.e. your second comment on this thread.

Apologies. What I wrote was ...

after my comment. Only within brackets instead of parens, so the html parser absorbed the text as an html command and did not display what I had intended.

Hitler would be proud of America. We have the most permissive pro-abortion laws in the world, except maybe China.

[NTHockey]

How about a “hate crime”?

Nah, who am I kidding. “Hate crimes” are only those acts that Libs say are commited by Conservatives.

Back in 1991 I was in an automobile accident and suffered a severe concussion, bruised heart, banged up hand and knee. I was released after one day. I STILL suffer from the effects of that accident.

[proudofthesouth]

I am ashamed to admit this but here goes cause I know the mind set of pro choicers.

Until I became a Christian last Spring every time I would drive by a child killing clinic I would curse the pro lifers standing outside and give them the finger.

I’m extremely grateful to God for him telling me that abortion is WRONG, WRONG, WRONG!

Praise God for His work in you. That, by the way, is our hope. Only God can change a heart and a mind.

[EternalVigilance]

You’re living proof that revival is the only hope for America.

God bless you.

Even if that were true (it's not)...it is not the point. This man was assaulted; whether that is a crime or not shouldn't depend on how badly he was hurt. The implication is that assault and battery are OK unless the victims is seriously hurt. What of the flip side: assault isn't a crime, even if someone gets seriously hurts, if the perp meant well/had good intentions?

oh boy.

"To sum it up : Snell fell while trying to car surf ...."

I believe "catapulted" was the word. Imagine a 4X8 sheet of plywood on the roof of a car with Mr. Pro-Life at one end and a guy jumping onto it at the other.

Until I became a Christian last Spring .......

Welcome to "the Family"!

"Must not have been too serious if he was released from the hospital in just two days."

WTFudgesicle? People are not something you can physically harm, and then Ctrl/Alt/Delete to make better.

This is an older (Mr. Snell, age 69) gentleman. His injuries (His medical report outlines the extent of his injuries: “multiple trauma, right subarachnoid hemorrhage (bleeding in the area between the brain and the tissues that cover the brain), compression fractures of four vertebrae (T3, T4, T5 and T10), right scapula fracture and fracture of the fourth and fifth ribs.”

I fear his injuries will sideline his efforts at saving the unborn, and might ultimately kill him.

Shame on you...!
