Over at Neocolours, we're discussing birth control and abortions and all.

[conuly]

And somebody had mentioned that lists of doctors who perform abortions, meant so that the conscientous can go to different doctors, had been used to harass and bomb said doctors.

This lead to the oh-so-indignant reply "When in your life have you heard of that happening? EVER?"

*sighs*

A quick search on google for "abortion bombing" brings up this site at MSNBC on abortion clinic harassment, including, yes, bombings and murders, most of which seem to have occured within my lifetime. I'm just not that old, either.

If I search for "abortion harassment", I get this site at Religious Tolerance on the same subject. Twelve murders or attempted murders in 1994! That's within the lifetime of just about everybody at the NC, I should think!

I'm not sure if I'm stunned more at the ignorance or at the fact that I appear to be the first person to call her on this (I skimmed).

EDUCATE YOURSELF!

Now, I am going back to sleep. I'm going to finish my snack, brush my teeth, and sleep. Cozy warm sleep. Night all!

Edit: I was wrong. I mean, I'm right on the greater issue, but this being the danger of skimming, apparently the bombing talk was about people bombing places that don't do abortions, which just... doesn't happen. Oops.

Even in our so-called bastion of tolerance, Canada, doctors who perform abortions have been attacked. One was attacked in the parking garage below his clinic; one was shot through his kitchen window. And those are just the ones in this province and just the ones that I can think of off the top of my head. The attacker in the latter incident has never been identified, let alone caught.

Tell the person to Google "Dr. Garson Romalis."
