We're So Pro-Choice That If You Disagree With Us We'll Kill You

Planned Parenthood Golden Gate cartoon shows pro-choice superhero killing abstinence supporters and abortion-clinic protestors.

Yes, it's only a cartoon. But ideas have consequences. When exactly did it become acceptable for supposedly mainstream organizations to suggest political violence, even in a "kidding" manner?

The "superhero" provides a disclaimer about pro-life protestors having the right to protest peaceably, but then admits, "Sometimes I wish they would all just... disappear," and fires large condoms at them, which encase the protestors. Which is fine... until the protestors explode and, presumably, die.

There are unstable people out there, people willing to kill or die to vindicate their political preferences. And they're not all Islamicists, either.

Why on earth is it necessary to give such people moral encouragement to commit acts of political terrorism?

Would Planned Parenthood Golden Gate think it prudent for me to write a little sketch in which I "jokingly" suggest the "funny" killing of abortion doctors? Or Planned Parenthood staffers?

I don't think they would find that funny at all. And, for that matter, neither would I.

The hard left imagines itself as peaceful and anti-violence, but why is always the left advocating, seriously or "jokingly," political violence?

(Yes, I know, there are those considered to be on the right who do so as well. But these are extremely marginalized figures. They're not working for major pro-choice organizations or the University of Colorado at Boulder. Time and time again, there are hints that a little bit of violence is acceptable for the right sort of cause coming from ostensibly-respectable and highly paid and highly educated folks, and those hints aren't coming from the right.)

World Net Daily comments on the piece.

Thanks to Allah.

Ironically enough.

More... at Dawn Eden's Dawn Patrol, with screencaps and a partial transciption of the key bits.

Plus she notes that PP is getting government money to promote a wink-wink nudge-nudge attitude towards the right sort of political violence.

Thanks to See-Dub for the tip.
