Recently some states or localities have passed laws that require Pro-Life people to maintain a certain distance from an aborton clinic. The reason is that the protesters are often violent & dangerous to those going into the clinic. The reality is entirely different. 1st of all it is really an attempt to silence the Pro-Life people. Why? Because if you keep them away then the women (& men who accompany them at times) won't hear the truth & possible decide not to kill the unborn child.
The 2nd reality is that Pro-Life protesters are not the ones who are threatening & violent. The reality is that it is almost always those people who are pro-abortion that use the foul language, threats & even turn violent. & I speak from 1st hand knowledge. I have participated in a few Pro-Life Marchs & rallies in Iowa City. I can remember 1 march where they asked the men to step forward & lead the march out of concern for how the pro-abortion people would act. The pro-abortion people were using foul language & threats. The look on many of the faces was pure hatred towards us. At times it even looked like something evil straight out of hell. They tried using force to even stop us from exercising our 1st Amendment right of free speech & peaceful assembly. At a rally where the Pro-Life people were peacefully praying & listenning to speakers, it was the pro-abortion people who were running through the crowd damaging balloons etc held by the Pro-Life people.
But, don't take my word for it. Here is a video from a Pro-Life demonstration by Crusade for Life in Washington DC. Notice who are the peaceful ones & who use the threats etc. It isn't the Pro-Lifers. (& the pro-abortion actions are mild compared to some I've seen.)
