Abortion Rights Leader Nails Hypocrisy Of Anti-Abortion Activists You can't promote violence

Abortion Rights Leader Nails Hypocrisy Of Anti-Abortion Activists
You can't promote violence and then act surprised when it really happens

An abortion rights leader is calling out anti-abortion activists who spread lies about -- or incite violence against -- abortion providers, then act appalled when violence actually transpires.

Ilyse Hogue, president of advocacy group NARAL Pro-Choice America, derided two anti-abortionists in the wake of Friday's shooting at a Colorado Planned Parenthood that left three people dead and nine injured.

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.

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 judgement of the consequences of your hate-filled rhetoric. ‪#?ColoradoSpringsShootings‬ ‪#?DomesticTerrorism‬

The sad thing is the fact that they don't support things that would reduce abortion rates.

These people are pure psycho.
