The given in any conversation concerning the violence surrounding the abortion issue is that pro-lifers are religious fanatics prone to violence.
In fact, it’s so prevalent that it’s actually a cliche. Everyone knows that pro-lifers are a bunch of wackjob violent anti-woman wackos. Even though one time in the past decade a wacko killed an abortionist we’re all violent wackjobs as liable to be hiding a pipe bomb as we are carrying the Bible.
But what about pro-abort crowd? Isn’t there violence associated with them? I mean, other than the slaughter of millions of babies.
Of course we recently had the death of James Pouillon by a wacko who was offended by his pro-life signs. But it seems the national conversation typically leaves out pro-abortion violence against pro-lifers. And even when it does, it leaves out people like WLBT “Tonya Johnson who was murdered by the father of her unborn child recently? Why isn’t she counted among the victims of pro-choice violence?
According to reports, witnesses said that the father of the child wanted her to have an abortion but she refused. The intent of his violence was obvious from her wounds, say detectives. “It looked like he was intent on killing both of them,” said one detective.
Look, my point is that if someone kills an abortionist their logic is that they killed the abortionist to keep them from killing children. The exact opposite of that would be killing someone because they wanted the baby to live. And that’s happened hundreds of times in the past decade. But for some reason that kind of violence isn’t seen as violence by pro-abortion types.
They’re reported as random and sad stories as offshoots of domestic violence. But what clearer case could it be than someone who’s pro-abortion kills someone who wants a baby to live?
In fact, according to The Unchoice.com, murder is the leading cause of death or pregnant women. Could you imagine if the leading cause of death of abortionists were murder. Pro-lifers would probably be outlawed and banished to an island somewhere.
But pro-abortion violence isn’t even discussed.
This list is a grisly one from The UnChoice.com and it’s only partial:

• Oklahoma City Woman Beaten and Shot After Refusing Abortion
There are hundreds of these cases. They go on for pages and pages.
We need to realize the unspoken cost of abortion. When we devalue the life of the child inside the mother we necessarily devalue the life of the mother. The two are connected physically, emotionally and spiritually.
So many of these women were brave mothers who fought for the right of their child to live. They deserve to be honored. Their stories should not be discarded because they don’t advance the abortion agenda.

Mouse,
To learn how pregnant slaves were treated, google this book:
"Unburdened by Conscience" along with the phrase "pregnant slaves". It was not pretty.

Craig,
Those examples cited by Unchoice.com all specified that the boy-friends/biological fathers, etc, killed those women because they wouldn't have an abortion. Therefore, the women's choice to exercise her right to keep her baby was the reason she was killed.
You ignored my most important question: At what point in history, any history of any nation, was a woman at greater risk of death from the father of her child than she was from complications from her pregancy/childbirth.
Until you address this question, you cannot convince anyone that all these cases are just somehow a "fluke".
Re: Poullion's killer: He had this in common with Tiller's killer: They both made the killings political by their intentional killing of someone who represented a political cause they disagreed with, regardless of any details of the victims' lives.
Re: treatment of slave women. I'm going to take you faith on this one. I'm not going to read the article. Not because I'm blowing you off, but because my morning sickness is really bad this morning, and if I throw up again I can't take care of my babies. So, I'll just credit you that pregnant slaves were treated badly. My only comment on that is what stupid people those slave-owners must have been. Injure a pregnant woman and you decrease her chance of being able to have more babies, which would, in turn, decrease the number of slaves a slave owner could have. Duh.

Mouse,
I'm afraid there is a very big difference between women who die during pregnancy and women who die during childbirth (or up to 42 days after childbirth).
Data taken from the Pregnancy Mortality Surveillance System at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that the pregnancy-associated homicide ratio was 1.7 per 100,000 live births.
According to 2003 statistics, the U.S. maternal mortality rate is 12.1/100,000 live births. American women are dying from childbirth at the highest rate in decades and this stat places the US 42nd in the world for maternal mortality. Ugh. Another shining example of the joys of privatized healthcare.
So, according to this data, we have not even come close to the point where more women will die by murder than will die from medical complications.
Now go and take care of your babies!
This unwholesome topic can't be helpful for your morning sickness/pregnancy/mental well-being.
Take care and have a great day!

AS i see this site…i found it very informative… i have get lot of information from this Blog. and i want to share some information with you because of this site….
That is Tubal reversal…
A tubal reversal, also known as tubal reanastomosis, is usually performed when a woman wants to try to achieve pregnancy after undergoing a tubal ligation. In many cases, surgery for tubal reversal is successful. However, a number of factors can affect the success of the procedure. Estimates vary, but health experts approximate somewhere between 50 to 75 percent of tubal reversals are successful in reopening the fallopian tubes. However, the success rate may be much lower.
A tubal reversal is the only procedure that can open the fallopian tubes. Good candidates for this procedure include women who have:
*
Adequate tubal segments remaining
*
No other significant fertility problems such as non-viable eggs or ovulation dysfunction
*
A partner whose sperm analysis is normal
*
No other health conditions that might prevent pregnancy.

I noticed the same pattern others have noticed… little girls get used by adult men, then killed when the obvious happens. (Just imagine the STDs the girls probably get, too.)
Can't even argue birth control would "fix" this, since I know some kids who were conceived while their mom was on BC– and expecting these perverts to use a condom is as unlikely as expecting them to get a vasectomy. (Only mentioned because that's the usual response to "look, these girls are victims of sexual predators, and got pregnant." "Oh! Let's make sure they don't have to deal with THAT!" Because being manipulated into your body being used like a blow-up doll, then tossed aside, totally doesn't touch your psyche….)

Although pro-abortion activists cry rivers of crocodile tears over women who supposedly died as a result of not having abortion available, they have zero concern for the lives of women who are murdered for refusing to abort. Their silence about these cases is deafeningly loud.
They wax so eloquently about a women's right to choose. They want women to be able to have abortions whenever they want, without hassle, thought, or appology. Any inconvenience (to say nothing of danger) that a women faces as she seeks an abortion, triggers rage and street demonstrations from these activists.
But when a woman wants to choose life and she gets murdered as a result, they make no protest at all. They don't stand up for these women in the slightest. The most they do is make weak statements about pregnancy increasing domestic violence. NO comment about how this violates the woman's right to choose. They also have been known to campaign against tougher laws to protect pregnant women from violence. One can't help but wonder, if the woman chooses life and gets murdered, do these people–who hypocritically pretend to care about women and their right to choose–think she was asking for it? Although they would never state this openly, you somehow get the impression that's what they think.
