The head of the Boulder Abortion Clinic said that an anti-abortion group's neighborhood leaflet campaign is an effort to get him killed.
In a full-page ad published in local newspapers over the weekend, Dr. Warren Hern said the flyers, distributed by a group that calls itself Operation Save America, were designed to cause hate and fear and to get someone to kill him.
As proof, Hern points to other abortion doctors who have been killed after neighborhood flyers identified them.
The flyers labeled Hern a "baby killer" and were placed in the doors of a Boulder neighborhood.
"It's not freedom of speech," said Hern on Monday. "This is terrorism. The purpose of the flyers is to get somebody to kill me."
In his ad, he called the group fascist and said, "They would stop at nothing to impose their views on other people."
A member of Operation Save America disputed Hern's claim and said distribution of the leaflets in the neighborhood was not meant to intimidate Hern with the threat of violence.
"This is certainly not a threat of violence against abortionist Hern, but hopefully it is a wake-up call to him," Joseph Parente told the Colorado Daily newspaper.
The anti-abortion group held a convention in Denver that ended on Saturday. Members of the group, who signed pledges of non-violence, picketed women's health clinics in Boulder, Denver and Colorado Springs.
The arguments for rape and incest being good reasons for abortion are absurd.
And I know firsthand that there are cowardly women who are embarassed to have gotten knocked up and pretend they were raped to friends and family.
(I know two disgusting women who lied about date rape in order to justify abortion (one got an abortion , the other didnt but her kid had to grow up whispering that they were a child of rape when their mom was really just full of crap because the kid's dad didnt want to marry her)
To do some worse than rape or incestual sex ? Kill an innocent preborn being ? Stupid, stupid.
If they don't want the baby, they can always give it up for adoption.
"Now here's the big question....What is the "proper" response? What I mean by this is that how would the Lord have us act in response to these people?"
I don't pretend to any special knowledge, or even a normal amount, actually, but every time I've prayed about that I get the strong sense that putting a bullet in them is not what He wants.
Well enough to depict, if in a sanitized manner, the accompanying gore.
I'd be curious to ask HIM how he'd like if some monster "gored" him to pieces just like he does the babies, followed by a brain squash. Someone ought to stage a street drama to do just that (using an adult size, but faceless effigy). That would add even more punch than the pictures of bloody unborns on a dime. Anyone handy enough with blacksmithery to make a 15 foot forceps???
The question is, how are you going to create a "teachable moment."
Imagine the magnitude of the guilt he'd have to experience if he allowed himself to face the truth.
Agreed. :-)
This guys kills babies for a living.We're supposed to like him?
What is the "doctor" afraid of? Putting leaflets on doorsteps is not imposing views on others. Shouldn't the Boulder community rally in his favor? Is he ashamed to have his occupation known? Doesn't matter, since Boulder is like the Berkeley of the Rockies.
I'm opposed to all abortion. A child should not be penalized because they are the product of rape or incest. That is a hard pill to swallow, I know, but right and wrong is not always about what is fair.
I believe that should be the American Public Health Association. Their Carl S. Shulz Award is given for "distinguished service in the field of population and family planning health." (Of course, one wonders about "service" that deliberately causes so much death among its patients.)
He worries that because of the controversy, few younger doctors are entering the field of abortion practice.
His worry is my hope.
"Why would any doctor want to do this?" he asked. "If you want to have a happy, normal life, you shouldn't do this."
Apparently, destroying innocent human beings is not the key to a happy or normal life. Is anyone surprised?
I see you’re still around making dumb comments yourself... lets see if you understand logic yet.... those Americans Bush “sent to die” volunteered to be in the military..whereas the innocent babies that have been murdered, didn’t choose to do so. Big difference.
however, pretending that they aren’t baby killers isn’t what He wants either.
“however, pretending that they aren’t baby killers isn’t what He wants either.”
No, but they don’t forfeit their breathing privileges for that. Not a capital offense.
and that’s all they were doing... no one was suggesting anything violent..they were just calling a spade, a spade. Nothing wrong with that. Even in light of recent events, we can’t start tiptoeing around the truth. All it takes for evil to flourish, is for good men (and women) to keep silent. The good people of this nation have kept silent about far too many issues for far too long. This is why its considered “controversial” to believe that abortion is murder, homosexuality is wrong, and illegal aliens should be treated like the criminals that they are.
“and that’s all they were doing... no one was suggesting anything violent”
I know. I was just saying.
