Abortionist Attacked in California! by brian on 05-Aug-2008

How long will it take for this story^* to make it to the front page of every newspaper in the country?

A pro-life protester brutally attacked an abortionist this past Saturday:

An abortionist was violently attacked by an anti-choice protester on a public sidewalk outside a Santa Ana abortion clinic on Saturday, August 2, 2008. The man, who wants only to be known as Tim, was first shoved, then battered, punched and choked by the protester who objected to his attempts to converse with him. Tim sustained lacerations and muscle pain that impaired his ability to conduct his normal activities as a result of the attack.

Actually, I am pretty surprised here. Abortion attacks are usually carried out by far right Christian (and often racist) folk like Eric Rudolph. Not regular Christians, obviously, like Brian here, but literal wingnuts. Although I've seen some protests where the pro-choicers were extremely hostile and the pro-lifers were solemn and peaceful, there wasn't violence.

That said, attacking someone who is against killing babies because you want to kill babies is twisted.

Cletus,

Are you being purposefully dense here? Or did you not click through and read the article?

Oh, and thanks for the vote of confidence!

;)

Regards,

No no no I read it. A pro-baby murderer attacked a Christian. I'm just surprised. Usually the pro-baby murderers curl up and cry while they wait for an insane person to attack them so they can then blame ALL CHRISTIANS for that act.

AH, I see.

In that case, LOL.
