Wanting to save the lives of babies is "hate"?
Projection again. They are seeing in others what is really true of themselves. They are completely oblivious of how hate-filled their own speech is. The words of abortion opponents are "spew" for instance. See below
Ilyse Hogue, president of the abortion advocacy group NARAL Pro-Choice America, derided pro-life activists David Daleiden of the Center for Medical Progress and Troy Newman of Operation Rescue after they condemned the Friday shootings at a Colorado Springs Planned Parenthood.
Hogue implied that the shooting was a consequence of their pro-life work, saying that while they had freedom of speech, they “are not free from the judgment of the consequences of your hate-filled rhetoric.”
“Sorry, David Daleiden. You don't get to create fake videos and accuse abortion providers of ‘barbaric atrocities against humanity’ one day and act shocked when someone shoots to kill in those same facilities the next,” Hogue wrote.
David Daleiden is the founder of the Center for Medical Progress, which released a series of undercover videos over the summer showing Planned Parenthood’s harvesting of aborted baby parts and allegedly selling those organs. The Center for Medical Progress issued a statement following the shootings.
“The Center for Medical Progress condemns the barbaric killing spree in Colorado Springs by a violent madman,” the statement reads. “We applaud the heroic efforts of law enforcement to stop the violence quickly and rescue the victims, and our thoughts and prayers are with the wounded, the lost, and their families.”
Hogue went on to blast the president of Operation Rescue, writing, “And you, Troy Newman -- using Operation Rescue to call for state-sanctioned execution of doctors who serve women -- and then crying crocodile tears when someone takes that vision into their own hands.”
“It's America. You are free to have your speech. The language you choose matters. You are not free from the judgment of the consequences of your hate-filled rhetoric,” Hogue concluded.
Newman also condemned the shootings in a statement Friday.
“Operation Rescue unequivocally deplores and denounces all violence at abortion clinics and has a long history of working through peaceful channels to advocate on behalf of women and their babies. We express deep concern for everyone involved and are praying for the safety of those at the Planned Parenthood office and for law enforcement personnel. We pray this tragic situation can be quickly resolved without further injury to anyone,” Newman wrote.
Hogue was likely referencing comments in a 2000 book, “Their Blood Cries Out,” co-authored by Newman, and which Australian MP Terri Butler recently invoked to deny Newman’s visa for a speaking tour on character grounds.
The Guardian reports that Butler pointed out this passage of the book: “In addition to our personal guilt in abortion, the United States government has abrogated its responsibility to properly deal with the blood-guilty. This responsibility rightly involves executing convicted murderers, including abortionists, for their crimes in order to expunge bloodguilt from the land and people.”
“Newman has never advocated violence against abortion providers or facilities and has instead adamantly encouraged pro-life activists to work through the legal, legislative, and justice systems to bring abortionists who are breaking the law and harming women to justice,” Operation Rescue replied in a September statement.
Hogue was not alone in blaming the “rhetoric” of pro-life activists following the shooting. Planned Parenthood Rocky Mountain CEO Vicki Cowart also blamed “hateful language, hateful speech” as part of a “negative environment” that encourages people to target Planned Parenthood.
Planned Parenthood also tweeted Sunday: “To all of the trolls who spew hatred and lob attacks at us, PP family, or supporters online, you are a part of the problem.”

"Pigs in a blanket, fry like bacon" is some very recent hateful rhetoric and those same asshats were excusing it despite the fact that several Police Officers have been deliberately targeted.
Therefore I will ignore the bullshit coming from the left because it is all about shutting up their critics.
They cannot and will not accept responsibility for their own actions. This whole blaming it on a video is getting a bit old.
PP was waiting for an attack in a clinic which they believed would take the heat off them for the videos. Enough time has passed from when they were released that they might be right.
MDH
Working within the law vs. Working outside the law. Why does the left seem to have so much trouble understanding this simple distinction?
You know your a liberal when you have a bumper sticker on your car SAVE THE REDWOODS and a window sticker KEEP ABORTION LEGAL
How many leftists have those dumb Practice Torrence window stickers?
Leftist tactics 101: "When you can't defeat the argument, attack the person."
So, if my point is wrong… Why?
Since you ask 3:33 - Luke is our resident Pharisee - a pompous, self-righteous Creationist, who tries to dominate this site as though he were the arbiter of Truth and Reason, and regards any contrary opinion to his own as coming from a "troll" (by definition). And speaking of definitions, he loves quoting directly from dictionaries as if that were necessary or in any way impressive.
Luke, maybe some people don't care about the argument and maybe, just maybe want to attack you for the pleasure of seeing your blowhard responses. This is fun.
So nothing about the actual point, just more personal attacks.
Thus proving once again, "When you can't defeat the argument, attack the person."
"The prosecution rests your honor."
"maybe some people don't care about the argument and maybe, just maybe want to attack you for the pleasure of seeing your blowhard responses."
That is the very definition of internet trolling. And you wonder why I call you a troll.
Luke should be flattered that whole comments are devoted to him alone, while the actual "points" are discussed in other comments.
It looks to me that the abortion and euthanasia debates are both really debates about the meaning and purpose of life, but clothed in the issues of abortion and euthanasia. People who would never discuss the meaning and purpose of life because it is considered to airy-fairy or religious will discuss it when it is disguised as the abortion and euthanasia debates.
Lefties hate life and gain no satisfaction from it unless it is an emotional selfish satisfaction. The higher gains of the human experience they do not cherish, such as the pursuit of truth whatever it may be, the ever increasing realisation of one's own freewill with responsibility and accountability, the joy and power that comes to the heart when it learns to understand and love even those it dislikes. Lefties are fakes. They purport to care but hate the true wonders of life. They hate babies they don't want and old people they don't want, so they argue for abortion and euthanasia while disguising their sentiments as caring for the mother's wellbeing and for the old person's quality of life. All lefties really care about are their own feel-good emotions, image and status, and power and control over others. Nothing not imbued with these shallow selfish qualities appeals to them.
But the euthanasia and abortion debates should roll on regardless of their unpleasantness, for they are essentially the same debate about the meaning and purpose of life, and that debate must eventually lead to greater understanding of life, for if there is truth to be found, it will be found.
The USA has the widest diversity of humanity of any nation on the planet, from the best to the worst, the lightest hearts and the darkest, and all the hearts and mindsets in between, and the non-compulsory voting system dissuades much of the politically less interested central bulk from voting, leaving government to appeal to and encourage the more extreme, thus polarising and energising the extremes of government and a society already wider than any other in its diversity of persons, and the high rate of civilian weaponry heightens the potential for reaction, so clashes of such types are bound to happen. I am not saying it is a bad thing, but expected and part of the US system. I does provide a theatre of learning though, for the observers as well as those playing the parts.
