CAUGHT ON VIDEO: Abortion Clinic Escorts in Austria, Sexually Abuse Praying Pro-Life Activists

I am horrified that this is possible in Austria" says local Bishop after Viewing Video

VIENNA, Austria, November 30, 2007 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Video footage of abortion clinic escorts in the employ of Vienna abortionist Dr. Christian Fiala are so offensive that a local Bishop was stunned and is convinced that the case must be brought to state authorities. In the video, Dr. Fiala's staff can be clearly seen sexually abusing, humiliating and using grotesque intimidation tactics on pro-life activists who pray silently outside the abortuary.

The video shows abortion clinic escorts grabbing the genitals of male pro-life activists, undoing pant zippers, threatening to poke them in the eyes, sexually hugging them, making grotesque faces etc.  One clinic escort is seen on the video taking a wooden wedge and simulating sex with a female pro-lifer, pushing the wedge into her genital area.

The (WARNING GRAPHIC) video which has been posted on the Catholic Internet video website Gloria.tv can be viewed here: http://www.gloria.tv/?video=plexkbcvnjyprlb250ju 
Rather than crack down on such atrocities police look the other way, according to local pro-lifers.  Moreover, the Austrian Parliament is considering legislation to ban all pro-life activists from the public property outside abortion clinics, even if they are only praying silently. Dr. Fiala, the Director of the well-known Gynmed walk-in abortion clinics in Vienna and Salzburg is fighting for the ban.  According to Dr. Fiala, police officers are not allowed to take action against "those fanatic anti-abortion demonstrators, even when they "bother" women in a crisis situation." The video evidence has however given the lie to Dr. Fiala's claims and shown him to be the perpetrator rather than the victim of intimidation.

Salzburg Auxiliary Bishop Andreas Laun viewed the video and spoke with Gloria.tv about his reaction.  "I am horrified that this is possible in Austria," said Bishop Laun noting the brutality of the abortion clinic guards. The Bishop called the video a real eye-opener. "One can clearly see that they actually did such things," he said. The bishop is convinced that the events shown in the video should be investigated by State prosecutors.

That’s just sick. What is worse is the MSM don’t care about such behavior.

I wouldn’t have been able to handle it. They would have carried them out on a stretcher.

The MSM would join in if they could. They think it an intolerable restriction of natural rights to voice objection to the slaughter of innocents, and they think those voice those objections are ignorant, sexless vermin.

“What is worse is the MSM don’t care about such behavior.”

That is because many of the MSM are sickos themselves.

In town, right across from the High School, is an abortion clinic. Outside, directly facing the school, they have advertising signs.

Right now, the place is called “carenet pregnancy counciling” and the signs advertise free pregnancy testing. Before the name of the place was a bit more obvious, it was called “Crisis Pregnancy”.

Anyway, one of these days, I’d like to walk outside the school on the very busy stree with a sign that says “Free Cigarettes For School Children”. See, THAT would freak people out, make them literally go insane with rage. But the abortion clinic, across from the school, no problem...

Notice how three of the offending pro-aborts look decidedly non-Austrian?

Coincidence?

God created knees, heads, arms and willingness to defend oneself.
Standing there like a lamb on the totem pole is not the answer!

If I was one of the protesters...anyone getting any closer than one foot of my face would certainly meet his maker, or at least spend the next 6 Months in the rehab!

If I’m not mistaken, if these a$$holes did this in America it would be assault and it would incur a proper response.

Proabortionists have no respect for anyone. This is not surprising at all.

I'd keep all of 'em away from my cashregister if I ran a business.

I think the pro-lifers like being martyrs; otherwise, they would put a stop to this.

They probably work in the public school system. Teachers is my guess.

Since the police evidently don’t care to get involved, it seems to me that a proper course of action would be to:
1. disable the surveillance cameras,
2. “accidentally” break the hand-held cameras,
3. take care of business.

It is not wrong to fend off assault. Slaughtering alive unborn babies is more offensive than your comment denigrating pro-life people who care about the slaughter you seem cavalier about.

My objection is that they are NOT fending off the assaults. Their are letting it happen to prove that they are martyrs. They are wrong to tolerate such abuse.
