"'The language you choose matters ... You are not free from the judgement of the consequences of your hate-filled rhetoric.'"

COMMENTS: 
*  The birds have come to roost.
*  ... Planned Parenthood does not murder anyone. That would be illegal. One has to be born before one can be murdered.
*  ... Ted Cruz isn't just a presidential candidate, he's not just some Joe Schmoe. Ted Cruz is a sitting US Senator.  Think about that. A sitting US Senator, touting the endorsement of a person that thinks certain murders should be justifiable because it fits their personal religious beliefs.
*  Did you sleep well, Carly? How about the rest of you GOP candidates? Does it matter at all to you that the video you keep praising is basically fake and has now led someone to act on your hateful rhetoric? C'mon, talk to us. Tell us that you're sorry you played a role in this.
*  Another attack by right wing jihadi terrorists. They are the real threat to America, not Syrian refugees.
*  lets call it what it is white christian terrorism.
*  Carly Fiorina has blood on her hands.
*  It's a sad state of affairs for the GOP when rallying its base sounds a lot like inciting acts of violence. It's time to tone down the rhetoric.

Abortion Rights Leader Nails Hypocrisy Of Anti-Abortion Activists

You can't promote violence and then act surprised when it really happens.

By Hilary Hanson, November 29, 2015

An abortion rights leader is calling out anti-abortion activists who spread lies about -- or incite violence against -- abortion providers, then act appalled when violence actually transpires.

Ilyse Hogue, president of advocacy group NARAL Pro-Choice America, derided two anti-abortionists in the wake of Friday's shooting at a Colorado Planned Parenthood that left three people dead and nine injured.

Sorry, David Daleiden. You don't get to create fake videos and accuse abortion providers of "barbaric atrocities against humanity" one day and act shocked when someone shoots to kill in those same facilities the next.
And you, Troy Newman -- using Operation Rescue to call for state-sanctioned execution of doctors who serve women -- and then crying crocodile tears when someone takes that vision into their own hands.
It's America. You are free to have your speech. The language you choose matters. You are not free from the judgement of the consequences of your hate-filled rhetoric.  # ColoradoSpringsShootings   # DomesticTerrorism 
“The language you choose matters,” she wrote in a Saturday night Facebook post. “You are not free from the judgement of the consequences of your hate-filled rhetoric.”

She specifically mentioned David Daleiden and Troy Newman. Daleiden is the founder of the Center for Medical Progress, the anti-abortion group responsible for heavily manipulated videos that purport to show Planned Parenthood doctors talking about selling fetal parts for profit, and altering their abortion methods so as to leave fetuses intact. Newman, the president of anti-abortion group Operation Rescue, advocated for doctors who provide abortions to be “executed” in his book Their Blood Cries Out, published in 2000.

Both Daleiden and Newman condemned Friday’s attack, but Hogue wrote that their responses ring hollow in light of their previous words and actions.

“You don't get to create fake videos and accuse abortion providers of 'barbaric atrocities against humanity' one day and act shocked when someone shoots to kill in those same facilities,” she wrote. She also accused Newman of crying “crocodile tears” now that someone has taken his “vision into his own hands.”

Though police have not officially disclosed a motive for the Friday attack, a law enforcement official told The Associated Press that gunman Robert Dear uttered “no more baby parts” after his arrest.
