An abortionist at a clinic in Charleston South Carolina allegedly brandished a loaded weapon at a group of pro-life protestors early Saturday morning and was arrested shortly after.
Gary Boyle, 62, of Blountville Tennessee, drove into the driveway behind the Charleston Women’s Medical Center near where three pro-lifers stood and reportedly waved a handgun and pointed it at them.
The pro-lifers decided to call police who arrived at the scene shortly after, went into the clinic, confiscated the weapon and arrested the doctor on charges related to pointing a weapon. News reports indicate that Boyle was released on a $25,000 bail shortly after.
Some of the protesters were there as part of the 40 Days for Life organization while others regularly stand outside the clinic every Saturday. One protester who asked not to be named said, “the protesters don’t ever threaten anybody, they never cross onto the property of the clinic, and don’t impede access to the clinic.”

On the infrequent occasions when I join my parish prolife groups outside an abortion clinic my wife has asked if she and the kids can participate. I always nix the idea. Nor does our family vehicle have any kind of prolife stickers on it.
This is a good example why. I've no qualms about facing nutcases, but the God given responsibility for my family's safety keeps any action that might impact them to a minimum.
It's only going to get worse, pretty soon whoever has the gun will be pulling the trigger.

I agree with subvet! If they can't respect the life of an innocent unborn baby, than my physical intrusion would only aggravate them further. If a baby doesn't stand a chance, then I have even less of one. This is scary stuff.
I don't like to bring my older kids when I witness, but I always bring my infants. They have no idea what's going on, and they are such a valuable witness to the movement. A woman can't see a baby on the outside without realizing innately they're carrying a baby on the inside. It's amazing the impact when babies are present with their moms outside the abortion mills.
My older sons and I just tonight prayed the Rosary while my husband went to witness:) We were all with him in spirit, and my boys know that we are praying for the unborn babies. It's a good "apostolate" for us right now!

Face it — Boyle was just offering REALLY late-term abortions. And why are we surprised? Those who would kill the innocent in the womb can be expected to have nomore respect for human life after birth, either.

Friday night on the sidewalk brought 3 different incidents to the witnesses for Life. Things seem to be escalating this year. Perhaps the devil is giving his last hurrah.
