 Posted: 04/ 30/ 06 9:02 am Post subject: Assaulted while protesting abortion in BC |
 |

http://www.prolifeblogs.com/articles/archives/2006/04/assaulted_while_1.php
| Quote: | | Rose Mawhorter was viciously assaulted while protesting abortion across the street from Vancouver's most notorious abortion clinic. Although the story was covered by LifeSiteNews a few days after the April 7 incident, Rose has just released a video of the attack (warning - explicit language). |
Until I heard the attacker speak I wasn't convinced this was a woman. She just came out of nowhere, there was not an observable pre-cursor to the violence. I don't know what makes her resort to physical violence to express her thoughts.
My favourite part is the comment on Rose's blog which is the page where the video link comes from. One of the posters who made a comment said...
| Quote: | 1. I'd bet she's post-abortion.
2. Another blow, literally, for "tolerance" and "diveristy"
3. Have the cops caught her yet? It'd be great to go to her and say, "Obviously you're in a lot of pain, but I'm not the one you should be mad at. You should be mad at the people who told you that you could abort without pain. They're the ones who lied to you." |
Honestly wouldn't number one be rather self-evident? |

I don't agree with the pictures in public.
I was walking around the corner with my 6 year old nephew in Hamilton, chatting away about the Bulldog hockey game we were going to, and i look up and low and behold there is a few of these pictures staring at us. They were absolutely disgusting. I immediately grab my nephew and swung him around but it was too late, he had gotten an eye full. I tried my best to explain why they were doing it, but then i got a call from my sister almost in tears asking me what he had seen. He was talking about pictures of dead babies he had seen at the hockey game.
I can't for the life of me understand why people think that pictures like that are fitting for public viewing, and why they think they can persuade anyone either way with them. I have always been pro-life, but I after seeing the type of people who are holding these signs in public, it makes me not even want to be on the same side of the fence as them. |

I understand your concern, but the truth is often painful. And the argument that this type of photo is "not fit" for public viewing, is the exact kind of catch-22 that the pro-aborts thrive on. The procedure which they describe as mere "choice" and "termination of pregnancy", is something so vile it shocks the conscience to be confronted with this truth. Yes, passionate pro-life advocates have to be careful not to expose this to young children [although the hypocrites on the left have no compuntion about showing real and pseudo violence through the news, documentaries, movies and tv shows]. But every adult should face the truth of what abortion is and not hide in blissful ignorance behind the euphemisms of the left. We should all remember that when Jesus preached the truth the people held their ears and screamed and tried to throw Him off a cliff. Just because the truth hurts, does not mean that it is wrong to tell it. But it has to be balanced with protection for the innocent - pre-pubescent children who should not be robbed of their innocence by either the right or left. |

Using 'shock' such as pictures of aborted fetus' in public is not effective. What it has done is given the public perception that anti-abortion protestors are goofballs - their message is lost because of their idiotic way of getting it out.
I understand the passion and conviction of those who see abortion as horrible, but some thought should be undertaken as to how to get their message across. Offending the very same people who you are trying to convince is nothing less than a bad PR move.

Or it's sowing the seeds for future reflection. I first saw photos like that when I was a teenager, because my mother received The Interim, a pro-life newpaper. I too was shocked and appalled. And after considerable reflection, I became convinced that abortion was a horrible evil. You do not know how many people have been affected in similar ways by being confronted by the horrible truth of abortion. All we hear about are those who are "offended". |

BULL - ONY!
After seeing pictures? It made you pro-abortion? You sir, are full of it, bullony.
You see folks this is the tactic of the left. Cover up the truth and distract from the topic. Hey, 'Hamiltonian' the topic is a woman got assaulted for holding up a sign on a public street! How about staying focused. I wouldn't care if all the six year olds in the country saw that poster, "IF IT SAVED ONE HUMAN LIFE!!!" You "Hamiltonian", you sicken me.
Don't let these lefties put you on the defensive. Don't appaulogize. Next these warped lefties will want the woman that was assaulted to appaulogize for hurting that criminals fist. |

Is not effective? It was so 'effect' it got her into a fight. And sucked the leftie into a penalty. That's called "very effective'. Not to mention drawing attention to the cause. And the video camera just happened to catch it all. I'm sure it'll get played at the next national meeting. You can't buy publicity like that. It just means there will be more people and better prepared at the next protest.
Yes, I would say it's very effective.

 ROFL, calling me a lefty is like calling Hitler a pacifist. You my friend WOULD care if my six year old saw this poster because I would shove it right up your ASS. BTW i am not a Hamiltonian, I am in the riding that swung the only 905 riding into the Tories hands.
and also where did I say that i was proabortionist. You are the one acting like a lefty by putting words into peoples mouth. |

And once again you see, how they get off topic and try and cloud the issue. Don't be afraid of these potty mouths. They're all the same. |

Explain that statement. What's the other side of the fence mean? Abortion is the "Fence" in this discussion, right? |

I agree. When these types of images are shown on television we get a warning before they air to give parents the time to decide whether or not the content is appropriate for their family.
When you come up on it while shopping you have no time to turn your kids away no warning that you may not want them to see what's going on.
If my kids ever happened on this scene I would tell my kids that these people are a bit extremist to have to go to this length to get their point across. Then I would have to explain abortion to children that need not know this even exists much less an option for them.

Blah Blah , Allison? I was talking about David Sweet. And I'm not getting off topic, I was discussing how the signs used in demonstrations are way out of line. You don't see me out with posters of dismembered adults who were victims of Drinking an Driving.
You can call me "potty mouth" all you want but nothing is as insulting as calling someone a leftist here. what does political affiliation have to do with abortion anyways??? I know lots of socialists who are dead against it. So if you don't mind, you stay on topic. |

I do. It's called freedom of speech and freedom of expression.
You should use it once in a while to get your point accross, linguini spine. The Left certainly has no quoroms whatsoever brainwashing the public for eons with lies, propaganda and pictures.
PETA? Ever heard of their campaigns? The Left cares for lab rats more than they care for human life.
Any gay activist publishing for YOUR SIX YEAR OLD's elementary class. How about the Left telling your child or nephew on how to use a condom when he's 10? Is that acceptable because the graphics may be less offensive?
Aborted babies end up in the trash can. The sooner kids (including your nephew) see that and understand the absolute lack and disregard for human life the LEFT is CELEBRATING and PROMOTING - the better his chances of staying clear from LEFTIST BRAINWASHING for years to come.
A dead baby is a dead baby is a dead baby. |

Do we get warnings when the LEFT IS PROMOTING GAY LIFESTYLES? |
