Abortion Violence - Pro-Aborts Say: "The Problem Doesn't Exist!"

When confronted with this list of pro-abortion violence, pro-abortion ideologues react the way they always do when faced with unpleasant truths: They simply deny that a problem, and even evidence of the problem, exists.
They still claim that partial-birth abortions don't exist.
They still say that post-abortion syndrome is a myth.
They still allege that abortion reduces child abuse.
They still say that women want abortion to be available, despite public opinion polls showing the opposite.
Even when confronted with hard evidence that abortion mills are concentrated in minority neighborhoods, they allege that the data is an "anti-choice fantasy."
And now they are denying that there is such a thing as pro-abortion violence.
At least the pro-abort's comically inept attempts to discredit HLI's list will entertain real researchers.
As one example, Joyce Arthur, president of Canada's Pro-Choice Action Network (P-CAN), says that pro-abortion violence is a "myth," a "pious fraud," and "pathetic propaganda." In an article entitled "The Myth of Pro-Abortion Violence," posted on P-CAN's Web site, she spends most of her time justifying physical acts of violence against pro-lifers on sidewalks outside abortion mills (hold on a minute, we thought pro-abortion violence was a "myth").[43]
Then she proceeds to botch her embarrassingly pathetic attempt to discredit HLI's list of pro-abortion violence. She dismisses as "simply abortion complications" the deaths of more than 300 women, including those cases where abortionists were found guilty of murder because they abandoned the women they aborted to die.
This shows how much she really cares the lives and health of women. She just pretends they don't exist!
Arthur also claims that the reliability of HLI's list is "extremely dubious, especially considering the political agenda behind their compilation." Notice that she can't refute the documentation, so she attacks the people who compiled it, a classic pro-abortion diversionary tactic. And, of course, we can safely assume that Arthur believes that the National Abortion Federation's list of "anti-choice violence" is completely bias-free.
Finally, Arthur says that "Most items are very brief, are not sourced adequately or at all." All we need to say about this absurd statement is: Check it out for yourself. Go to the map of the states and look. You can see that every one of the incidents on HLI's list of pro-abortion violence is adequately, and, in many cases, even excessively documented. Then, once again, check out the National Abortion Federation's list of "anti-choice violence" at http://www.prochoice.org/, and all you get is a table -- no documentation whatsoever.
This, of course, is just fine with Arthur.
Arthur, of course, completely ignores the nearly 200 murders committed by pro-abortionists. She blithely chooses not to mention the more than one thousand sex crimes they have committed; the kidnappings, the arsons, the death threats and bomb threats, the tortures, the maiming and the molesting.
She also conveniently neglects to mention fine upstanding abortionists like Brian Finkel who sexually molested more than 100 women; Bruce Steir, who was convicted of manslaughter after letting Sharon Hamptlon bleed to death; John Baxter Hamilton, who was convicted of murder after beating his wife to death; and Alicia Ruiz Hanna, convicted of murder after killing Angela Sanchez and trying to stuff her dead body into the trunk of her car.
In Arthur's tidy little fuzzy-pink pro-choice universe, all women smile happily after their abortions, all "anti-choicers" are dirty little fanatics, and all abortionists are distinguished heroes, incapable of anything but noble actions and thoughts.
Dream on, Joyce. Soon you will wake up to a world that you will not like at all.
A pro-life world.
