Columbine Killers Targeted Athletes, minorities--and Christians
The one girl shot was Rachel Scott. The guy who shot her asks if she was Christian. When she said yes, he short her. I’m not trying to disprove anything you are saying sister. I am just saying that there are people on in every sector that do wrong things.
Actually I agree with you.. I don't think men or women should protest out side of clincs either. I have never fet that is the way to get any point across..

I'm not a Christian because some radical Christian pointed a finger at me and told me I was going to go to Hell. Because that would have been the last thing that would make me become a christian..

yoda benham said that troy newmans letter requesting money be sent to troy newman to pay for sitting the grand jury was bogus becuase the state of Kansas pays for the grandjury not troy newman.

When you said "benham said", I knew the rest would be a lie, and it was. I got the "letter" from Troy, and it said no such thing. He was asking for money for HIS efforts, not to "pay the grand jury".

I have not heard one pro-life person in here suggest that pro-lifers should be protesting outside of a clinic.

Well, let me be the first. Also, let me be the first to say that in the five years I've been protesting outside the local killing mill, I've never seen a single prolifer do or say anything of an "agressive" nature. But I have seen quite a few proaborts get aggressive there.

There are lots of rumors about violence, but very little substance. There is a federal law called the FACE act which pretty much makes it a federal crime to do anything to interfere with the operation of an abortion mill.

And violence comes from the other side, more often than not. Here's a website that keeps up with "prochoice violence": http://www.abortionviolence.com /

The thread of violence winds all through the prolife movement.

We get comments from both directions from proaborts about the very few antiabortionists who resort to violence.

One proabort commented on another forum that "If she really did believe, as prolifers say they do, that the unborn are actually "babies, children, etc.", then she would be down there at those clinics putting that to a stop no matter what it took. And then she chided us for our "cowardice" for not physically shutting down all abortion clinics, since "you prolifers do believe that".

So it's hard to know what some proaborts really think we ought to be doing.

yoda
1. go to flip benhams web site pull up the article and read what he wrote then reread my post and then tell me where I was lying. (his article includes troys letter).

2. I'm not required to provide sources for your posts, only my own. You should do as asked and provide the source or admit you have none.

3. FACE is federal law and as such is enforced by the feds. Most clinics go through their local police to handle the protestors. I can give our clinic as an example. We ignore most of the nuiance stuff simply becuase it is not worth spending time on. The most constant thing we have is the protestors standing in the middle of our driveway and refusing to move. They try to force us to go all the way to one side. (mark gietzen (kcfl) gives an account of this in one of his insident reports in which one of our nurses was forced to go back into the parking lot and call the police becuase they would not clear the drive. Do we call the police each time, no. We simply record the event on disk so that when the police do have to show we can show it is a repeated offence and not just one occurance. Just as we record the protestors diging hole in our park way to put in their crosses.

We call police when there is tresspassing and the police do arrest the offenders (that is what the eight arrests have been for) Also there have been some arrests when the police have been out for other things and a protestor has provoked the police into arresting them simply becuase of the protestors refusal to obey the police (that has nothing to do with us).

When we have had threats called or mailed in the police are involved and when we have those who we know to be extremist show up we let the police know.

Yoda the rumors of violence are harldly exagerated. All one has to do is look at the bombings, arsons, assasinations,kidnapings, acid attacks, and vandalism. Is there anyone here who does not think that those act are violent? There has been a steady stream of violence since the eighties. The clinic in Albequrque being the latest.

Now granted folk such as yoda tend to be the ones that simply stand outside the gate yelling and that is about it as far as their physical paticapation goes. However they are the cheering squad for those who will commit more violent activities.

I have a question, if it is apropriate for yoda to call some of us proaborts then is it OK for me to call him a fetus worshiper? I am no more pro abortion than I am pro appendectomy (I support those who need them getting either with just about the same ferver).

But since he brought it up "...proaborts really think we ought to be doing."

Here would be my answer. If you oppose abortion and want to reduce the number of abortions then work for good practical sex education, work to make birthcontrol afordable and accessable, work to get subsidised daycare for the working poor so a woman won't have to decide wether to keep her pregnancy or feed her existing children. If you think abortion breaks some moral code then teach your young that and give them the means not to ever have to face this decision, offer to do some free cay care for a working mother yourself, help bring up minimum wage to where people on the lowest paying jobs can still support their families, work for decent accesable medical care for born children, teach young girls to have self esteme and self fullfillment that is not tied to their apeal to males, teach young men to have respect for their reproductive abilities other than getting their rocks off, talk your church into opening up its nursery as a free or sliding scale day care center for the working poor, work for free prenatal and labor and delivery care for all women, work to have new mothers recieve state paid time off the first years of their infants lives, Help subsidise a family financially to help them get on their feet.

And most important of all trust women to make decisions for themselves. It is the woman that has the pregnancy attached to and using her body. It is the woman that carries not only the zef but the risks and the costs. It is the woman that if she is to be anything more than a possible incubator on legs must make the decision for herself.

And face it yoda, the woman knows her situation and circumstances while some old geezer who does not even know her name does not.

Taking pictures of women and their license plates is harassment, Yoda, and it can and does lead to violence. You and your fellow protesters violate women's right to privacy and one day a real nutter is going to use the private information you so joyfully supply and go on a killing spree. What's worse, half of those women you harass aren't even going into the health clinics to obtain an abortion, but to get feminine checkups, prenatal care and birth control.

I know that you and your kind don't give a rat's patoot if women suffer from gynecological ailments or eventually contract fatal cancer due to being unable to get feminine health care because of prolifers, but plenty of other people do.

You cannot back up your own assertations?!? You outright quoted someone, it is irresponsible of you to refuse to cite your source.

I think it is because you were caught once again being disingenuous.

I fight constantly with the idea that not all prolife advocates are dishonest individuals, but you are working against me. It is fortunate for your movement that meblonde, nightangel, and diamondsplinter are here to provide a juxtaposition for your dishonesty.

How do you expect to change anyone's mind if you are not honest?

I rarely post, because I don't like arguing with people, but can you explain what kind of aggressive behavior these "proaborts" are showing. I really am just being curious. I find it hard to believe that in 5 years of protesting, that you have not seen a single pro-lifer say anything of an aggressive nature. What is provoking these "proaborts" to be aggressive?

I had a "violent" altercation with a protester. I posted my story on the pro-choice forum, so I won't bore everyone again. It was extremely scary, and what happened to me is the main reason I am here today.

I do not condone what any of these people have done, but a lot of the stories really have nothing to do with the situation. Many pro-life and pro-choice advocates have probably committed homicide, but unless it has to do with abortion/abortion rights, it makes no sense. Just because a pro-choicer killed a pregnant woman, doesn't mean he did it because of his or her abortion stance. Even if he had killed her because she wouldn't abort his child, it's still a "personal" situation. Maybe she was pro-choice too, but wanted to keep that child. A man who kills a pregnant 15 year old to cover up the fact that he was molesting her is not pro-choice violence. It was a guy who was trying to hide his sexual habits. And again, 2 guys murdering a girl who "thought" she was pregnant is not pro-choice violence.

Then it goes on to list a bunch of stories about people who are pro-choice who axe-murdered their roommates, and butchered people. This has NOTHING to do with abortion. If a pro-lifer murdered his roommate, is that considered pro-life violence?

But what really made me re-think this whole pro-choice violence website, was when I saw a section called "Violence by Homosexuals"!!! LOL! They might as well make a section called "Violence by Heterosexuals".

I must add, again, that I do NOT agree with what any of these people have done.

Here is a wild idea for you vater.
I go to planned parenthood several times a year. I go get papsmears since I've had an abnormal pap; I go for feminine checkups; I go to get a pill that will stop my cycle for all but 4 times a year.
I have to wade through protestors to do it.
I get shouted at; called killer; have hysterical people trying 'help' me 'save my baby' despite the gray sprinkling my black hair; despite anything logical.
Protestors have taken my picture, my car's picture, handed my young daughter gory pictures which gave her nightmares.. they are not 'savings' anything and for the *renal opening* who walked up to my daughter and told her to tell her mommy not to kill...as a testament to my phenomenal control that person is still walking, living and breathing though being ripped into verbal shreds wasn't probably the reaction they wanted.

I have yet to see a pro-choice person doing these things. Why is that? Perhaps because we know the way to get our message across is not to threaten, harass and attempt to intimidate. You could learn here.

I think Flip lies, every time his mouth is open. I never accused you of not quoting him accurately.

I've never heard of a mill being reluctant to call the FBI and have FACE enforced.... but I've heard of them threatening protesters with charges of violating it many, many times.

How lovely that you would accuse me of "yelling" when you know absolutely nothing about what I do.... or maybe you do, and are just lying on me.... which is it? (I don't "yell", I let my sign talk for me.)

"Proabortion" is in the dictionary, is "fetus worshiper"?

Now, there's a novel idea! Why not trust women to make ALL decisions for themselves.... like whether to kill hubby, father, daughter, mom, etc???

I agree totally with you there, I have no idea about her circumstances. I do know, however, that electively killing innocent human beings is wrong.

First, I don't take any photos of license plates. Second, there is no legally supportable expectation of privacy in public, that's an oxymoron. Third, if there was any violation of rights, I'd have been arrested long ago. You're creating laws that don't exist.

The sources that I would provide are from a prolife website, which you would immediately scream were "biased". So, I suggested that you ask sister, since she knows first hand about the matter, and has already mentioned it in one of her posts.

But you choose not to do that, but rather make yet another personal accusation towards me. Why am I not surprised?

The ones I'm talking about are the customers and employees of the mill. Many of them threaten us, make vulgar hand signals, and shout profane insults at us. There is a long record of other proabort violence posted on a website dedicated to that subject: http://www.abortionviolence.com /

I have no knowledge of your situation, but let me ask you this: How did this incident make you more likely to abort? Do you blame babies for it?

Gotta disagree with you there, that kind of thing has everything to do with abortion. If abortion wasn't legal, that wouldn't be happening.

Unfortunately, your side does indeed engage in violence, threats, harassment, and intimidation as well.

As to your specific situation, I have no way of commenting since I wasn't there, and am not aware of any prolifers who do the things you allege.

Laughing

On my next paper (I am in graduate school) I will refuse to cite my sources, and when I am suspended for plagarism and dishonesty my defense will be a whiny "you would have found my sources biased anyways, so look them up yourself!" and accuse the Academic Affairs committee of personally attacking me.

They will laugh, my reputation will be ruined and that will be the end of me professionally.

Just as it is with you. Laughing

Huh.

By your own admission you are being actively dishonest to "have fun". Is this the prolife way?

So getting the finger = shooting doctors, bombing clinics, arsons, kidnapings .... on your violence o meter?

I know more about you than you know are you not the bearded geezer outside the Knoxville clinic?

As for shouting things Let's see from our protestors we get called whores and sluts. I personally late one night while washing off grafitti from our driveway was treated to one of kcfl regulars screaming at me how he was going to watch my blood flow down the driveway (fortunately at the time he was so high on something he had trouble standing upright).

Our patients get called the uasual "muderer" we have one lovely female protestor that calls the patients male companions "people" when they won't talk to her. Our patients get called sluts and whores.

On the side I would like to make an observation. If you stand and block someones vehicle, call them names and yell at them should you be surprised that they flip you off? The only violence (fingger flipping and shouting back, name calling) that goen on towards the protestors at our clinic is the result of provocation by the protestors themselves. Provoking someone to anger usually gets a reaction, an angry reaction.

In my many years around the clinics I have found that the anti abortion protests at the gates tend to draw out men who have not been exactly sucessful in their own lives who have control issues where women are concerned. It is the one place these guys can go and yell a women they do not even know, call them names and verbally abuse them with out condemnation by their cohorts.

I will add that not all the male protestors fall into that catagory just a very high percentage.
