Pro-Life Texas Legislators Receive Threats

Pro-choice activist to pro-life senator: “I hope your daughter’s raped.”

By Betsy Woodruff

Pro-life legislators in the Texas statehouse have faced threats and abuse from pro-choice protesters, prompting at least one to bring in extra volunteers to help with security.

State representative Jonathan Stickland tells NRO that being vocally pro-life has made him a target for abuse and threats from some of the pro-choice protesters in Austin. The night before state senator Wendy Davis’s filibuster, she requested that people send her stories about the importance of abortion rights that she could read during the filibuster. Stickland tells me that inspired him and a few other representatives from Tarrant County (part of which is in Davis’s senate district) to send in 84,160 pieces of blank pink and blue paper to represent the number of abortions in Texas last year.

Since these Satanists kill babies they probably wouldn’t’ hesitate to kill legislators.

Keep doing the right thing and keep your Glock at hand.

“I hope your daughter’s raped.”

It takes an enormously self-restrained gentleman not to break the jaw of someone making such a statement.

Certainly there have been times in our history when an assertion such as that would have been grounds for a horse-whipping or worse.

And rightly so.

You’d think some liberals somewhere would say, at least to themselves, “Hey, I’m a LIBERAL.... Why am I so intolerant and HATE so much?”

But no, that would disagree with everything they know to be true without question, and force them to think for THEMSELVES.

Here’s what the Sex Pistols had to say about abortion:
Songwriters: BENTON, STEVIE / JONES, JASON / LUCE, MICHAEL / PIERCE, C.J.
(J. Rotten, S. Vicious, S. Jones, P. Cook)

She was a girl from Birmingham
She just had an abortion
She was a case of insanity
Her name was Pauline she lived in a tree

She was a no-one who killed her baby
She sent her letters from the country
She was an animal
She was a bloody disgrace

Body I’m not an animal
Mummy I’m not an abortion

Dragged on a table in a factory
Illegitimate place to be
In a packet in a lavatory
Die little baby screaming

Body screaming f****g bloody mess
It’s not an animal it’s an abortion

Body I’m not an animal
Body I’m not an abortion

Throbbing squirm, gurgling bloody mess
I’m not a discharge I’m not a loss in
Protein I’m not a throbbing squirm Ah!

F fhis and f that
F it all and f the f brat
She don’t wanna baby that looks like that
I don’t wanna baby that looks like that.

Body I’m not an animal
Body i’m not an abortion

Mummy! Ugh!

Since National Review apparently does not need to be excerpted here, why not post the entire article?

I guess that wouldn’t be fair to the seven trackers (Google Adsense, Google AdWords, Linkedin Widgets, Newsmax, nRelate, Quantcast and Taboola) on your web page.

The media builds this up and up emotionally and the crazy left wing kooks take off.

On his radio show today, Glenn Beck said that some of the sicko Austin protestors were chanting, “Mary should have had an abortion” and “Hail Satan.”

Scumbags.

The natural response should be ..What a shame your mother didn't believe like you, you could have been aborted. That of course would have been better for the rest of the country. Amen.

They are showing their true colors.
They will get their just reward later.
Sucks to be them.
