Predicted Pro-abortion Exploitation Begins

We all predicted this yesterday. So it begins. From FoxNews.com:

Attorney General Directs U.S. Marshals to Protect Abortion Providers After Murder

U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder dispatched the U.S. Marshals Service to protect "appropriate people and facilities around the nation" in the wake of the murder of late-term abortion provider Dr. George Tiller in Wichita, Kansas on Sunday morning.

U.S. Marshals spokesman Jeff Carter, who confirmed the new security measures, told FOX News, "I can not disclose the subjects of our security efforts as it is the policy of the U.S. Marshals not to comment on the status of any protective detail."

Oh really? I didn't know that was a normal reaction by the federal government to lone shootings. Maybe that's because when pastors are targeted, they don't send out the U.S. Marshals to protect churches and pastors across the country. Where was their U.S. Marshal protection, huh?  I guess that's just a special action we save for those carrying out the liberal sacrament of abortion. 

I am against anti-choice on people murdering abortionists or attacking clinics. And the truth is that this is an occurrence much less frequent than many other forms of targeted violence. In fact, pro-abortion violence is rather frequent, deadly church shootings are more frequent, and students at school know they are a most popular target. Admittedly violent animal right groups have strapped firebombs to people's cars. No U.S. Marshals to the rescue?

The U.S. Marshal order is nothing more than a move to exploit the killing of Tiller to intimidate pro-lifers and end their growing, peaceful presence at clinics, because it has has been so successful at saving lives by changing minds at clinics. The completely peaceful 40 Days for Life has been devastating to the abortion business, a large threat to those who truly are pro-abortion. Don't be fooled - some people are genuinely pro-abortion in the most meaningful sense. That's why they are against any policy designed to improve safety for women that would also decrease abortion rates. That's why they send out U.S. Marshals to abortion clinics after one nut kills an abortionist in a lone shooting, the first instance like this in 10 years. 

The murder of Tiller is an opportunity for pro-aborts to seize and prevent the increasing success of the pro-life movement in recent years. This is an act of intimidation against the little old ladies and peaceful sidewalk counselors legally praying and talking with women outside of abortion mills; they hope that they'll pull back their efforts in the wake of this murder and the government's response. They hope everyone else will think nothing of this government action, since a man was killed. We can't let that happen.

I think it is clear that pro-lifers should have a reinforced dedication to their prayerful presence outside of abortion clinics and affiliated locations. And they better have some cameras handy to film the violence and intimidation they face, with no one there to protect them from threats (which I've faced myself on multiple occasions). But pro-lifers should not be scared and berated into believing that what they are doing is anything but peacefully calling out the truth and reaching out to people in need to save lives, having nothing to do with this lone incident of murder. 

And there is still mass killing happening today, without any U.S. Marshals deployed to prevent it. It's happening inside these clinics. Go there, pro-lifers, and pray for all those inside. Offer love and alternative option counseling. Don't stop calling abortion out for what it is with activism, lobbying, and media. Pray more. The hand of God is far stronger than our own, and those babies and women deserve our courage to put this pro-abortion exploitation and intimidation into perspective for their sake.
