The lunatic abortionist George Tiller who has been under investigation for years for illegal abortions had his security guards toss stink bombs near pro-life protesters, according to The Wichita Eagle.
A local pro-life activist lost a small-claims lawsuit Tuesday when a judge ruled he was not damaged when a security officer used a “stink bomb” to ward anti-abortion volunteers away from a Wichita abortion clinic.
“The judge ruled that Tiller has the right to stink bomb us if he wants to as long as the stink bomb is on his property,” said one pro-life protester. “I fully expect it to be used on us again.”
Evidence at the trial showed that the “stink bomb” consisted of foul-smelling catfish bait. The lawsuit said the incident prompted many moms who brought young children to the clinic to stop coming.
The pro-lifer said he didn’t plan to appeal the ruling because it would just be too expensive.
Now could you just imagine if say…an Armed Forces recruiting station did the same exact thing to anti-war protesters? It would be seen as Kent State all over again. MSNBC would have hour long specials, reenactments, interviews, and Keith Olberman blaming Karl Rove.
Or could you perhaps imagine if some pro-lifers used a stink bomb near the entrance of abortion clinics to ward off women. Something tells me the media would discuss this a wee bit more than they did for this case…which was never.

In Seattle, a man came up on the sidewalk, as if he were going to run over pro-lifers. In Tacoma, pro-lifers praying outside the Planned Parenthood have had water balloons thrown at them. Not a word has been said by the secular media.

Both your post and the response by “anonymous” underscores my feelings that the pro death portion of society is turning increasingly nasty and unstable. For that reason I’ve discouraged my wife from participating in any public demonstration for the pro live side.
I’ll gladly join any march/prayer vigil/whatever, anyone trying to give me grief better pack a lunch.But I don’t fancy my family becoming targets of opportunity.
What a world!

Remember the Planned Parenthood video which displayed a female “superhero for choice,” named Dionysis, telling a strange-looking proponent of abstinence, “The only truth here is you’re ugly, and your momma dresses you funny.” The superhero then drowns the man by stuffing him upside down in a trash can full of liquid. “It looks like it’s time to take out the trash,” the superhero adds.
The secularists actually promote violence against pro-lifers.

I hadn’t heard of that video, where can I find it?

there’s some stills here but I think they removed the video. I’m still going to look though.

Subvet,
Respectfully, you should reconsider your stance regarding your wife’s prolife activities. We cannot simply back down because the pro-abort side is getting more aggressive. We do not only speak for the truth when it is convenient, but at all times.
My wife takes our four young children every week to the clinic to pray the rosary. I realize that harm could come to them, but as a husband I am more concerned about them following Christ than I am about their physical safety. My job is to help them get to heaven – not protect them from every possible harm that this fallen world could give them!

Hey, I actually live here in Wichita. Can you explain–was the stink bomb always on his property, and just the “stink” moved onto the protesters, or did the stink bomb just originate on his property. If it is the former, then could they also use, for instance, a stink bomb containing H2S as long as said bomb remained on their property, or would that be “assault with a deadly weapon”? In other words, was the decision based on the fact that the “stink” was not harmful, or was it based solely on property rights? Interesting legal question. Does this mean that pro-lifers could set off “stink bombs” at any place beyond his property lines? Knowing the wind here, that could be difficult for the clinic to deal with.
BTW, I think Dr Tiller (aka “The Baby Killer”) is a boil on Wichita’s backside.

Francis, there are other more effective ways to speak for the defenseless besides standing on a sidewalk. My wife has already indulged in one, she left her church (United Methodist) after discovering they’re solidly prochoice. Given that she grew up in it and spent her 33 years as a member that counts that as a strong statement requiring intestinal fortitude.
Furthermore, it might qualify me as a Neanderthal but women and children shouldn’t be placed in the way of possible physical harm. That is for real men to do. I’ll raise my children the same way I was, as safely as possible while instilling the knowledge that with adulthood comes the responsiblity of standing up for whats right.
