Wow, we must look scary…
We can’t really be considered dangerous for opposing abortion, right?
If you’re an anti-abortion activist, or if you display political paraphernalia supporting a third-party candidate or a certain Republican member of Congress, if you possess subversive literature, you very well might be a member of a domestic paramilitary group.
That’s according to “The Modern Militia Movement,” a report by the Missouri Information Analysis Center (MIAC), a government collective that identifies the warning signs of potential domestic terrorists for law enforcement communities.

Tanya adds: It just goes to show how very elite the pro-choice stance really is. Pro-life? Possible terrorist. But if you’re pro-choice you’re a real patriot. (When are they putting out those propaganda videos?)

Rebecca adds: To me this illustrates the accelerating (thank you Mr. Obama) trend toward vilifying those with whom you disagree. In a healthy democracy, people recognize that men and women of good will may reach different conclusions, and can respect that, even as they disagree. If we can’t distinguish between “this is a thoughtful person whose values differ from and and with whom I disagree” and “this personal is evil and dangerous,” we’re in a very bad place, as a civilization. And while there are pro-life people who see the world in Manichean terms, the “if you’re not with us, you’re evil” worldview shows up way more often in pro-choice, feminist, and secular liberal circles more generally, in my experience, than on the right.

Maybe they should have just started with “If your name is Bill Ayers…”
Carla, I was just going to post that disgusting article. The sections about people with serious diseases having lives not worth living is especially chilling.
On the plus side all of the commenters rip the guy apart.
When will it be fully realized the abortion is misogynist and maintains a man’s “right” to consequence-free sex? the woman’s right being the “right to choose” which consequence she would like: the killing of a life, becoming a mother before she is ready or adoption.
