Pro-aborts respond with vandalism

It's apparent from two recent acts of violence that the personhood movement is infuriating some abortion advocates.

Just days after an article in a national news magazine about their pro-life efforts, Personhood USA leaders Keith and Jennifer Mason saw their home vandalized by pro-abortion activists. That first attack was against the home of the Masons and their three children in Colorado Springs.

Jennifer, who is pregnant, tells OneNewsNow that vandals threw a large rock through the front door.

"They broke the door and spray-painted everywhere [pictures of] coat hangers and things we didn't want the kids to see," she explains, "and just had scattered glass throughout our entire front floor, all over the children's toys and things that we'd gotten for the new baby."

The intrusion and vandalism came after a story about the Masons and the personhood movement in Newsweek Magazine. Someone obtained their home address and posted it in the comments section of the article, which was posted on The Daily Beast -- the online home of Newsweek. (Editor's note: The comments section has since been closed.)

Just a few days later, one of their most reliable volunteers, Everett Stadig, was attacked while gathering signatures to get the Personhood amendment on the Colorado.

"They broke his hip and hurt him pretty badly," says Jennifer, "and we're kind of following his example in this; and that is that although he has been badly injured and he's in the hospital, he's still asking nurses and visitors for their signatures on his personhood petition. He is completely undeterred -- and that's how we feel, too."
Unless this is a hoax meant to portray political enemies as the bad guys, this IS an example of political enemies being the bad guys, and shows that tolerance isn't a one-way street...

Assuming this is real, ONE act of vandalism shows the entire left "tolerance" is a hoax...


Where do they sell brushes that wide?

Yeah, that sounds super realistic; advocates of women's reproductive rights frequently break into other people's houses and spraypaint pictures of coathangers on their walls.

Someone who supports abortion. But you know that, you just like to pretend that people who support abortion are supporting "choice" or "women's repoructive rights". The fact is that you support the legal use of abortion on demand, making you "pro-abortion" or shortened to "pro-abort". So loose the disingenous horsecrap.

Ok, then I guess it's ok to call "pro-lifers" - "Anti-choicers" or more accurately: "Pro-Some-Lifers".

But you and I both know the term "pro-abort" is intended as a slur.

Some stupid phrase idiots use because they think it means something. It doesn't. I don't know anyone who is "for abortion". Just like I don't know people who are "pro cyst removal" or "pro radiation treatment" or "pro hysterectomy" or "pro mastectomy". But hey, it makes the wittle minds feel good, so we should just pat them on the head, tell them they're cute, and move on.

A professional abortionist (as opposed to an amateur one)? Hellz, I don't know.

Exactly my point in asking the question...I don't know anyone that is pro-abortion, either.
