Someone needs to explain the meaning of “pro-life” to this guy.
A Des Moines anti-abortion activist has publicly proclaimed that “it will be a blessing to the babies” if someone shoots the people who recently reopened a Kansas abortion clinic.
Dave Leach’s comments are being denounced by the leader of Iowa’s largest anti-abortion group, who says such talk is immoral and hurts the cause.
Leach posted the comments this month on YouTube. His posting includes a recorded phone conversation he had with another man, whom Leach identifies as abortion opponent Scott Roeder. Roeder is serving a life prison sentence for the 2009 shooting death of the Wichita clinic’s then-owner, Dr. George Tiller.
Leach has previously suggested that other men were justified in killing other abortion providers. He notes in the video that Tiller’s old clinic was recently reopened by a new abortion agency.
HT to LGF.
This is the anti-choice position in a nutshell. A Right to Life, from fertilization all the way to birth. After birth, though, not so much. Funny, though, that they can be so blase about somebody getting shot, yet still worked into frothing frenzy about someone (else) getting unplugged.
Dave Leach’s comments are being denounced by the leader of Iowa’s largest anti-abortion group, who says such talk is immoral and hurts the cause. Of course it does: making statements in such clear-cut terms, easily understood by the public, is always going to make a fundamentally amoral position less tenable.
