Fr. Frank Pavone of Priests for Life Receives Post-Election Death Threat
LifeSiteNews ^ | 11/11/08 | Fr. Frank Pavone

Posted on 11/11/2008 3:58:16 PM PST by wagglebee

WASHINGTON, November 11, 2008 (LifeSiteNews.com) - I received the following message on my blog (http://www.priestsforlife.org/blog ) the day after the elections:

“IMPORTANT MESSAGE FOR FATHER FRANK PAVONE

“I am predicting that there will be more anti-abortion terror because of this election. I AM ALSO PREDICTING THAT THIS TIME IT WILL BE ANSWERED IN KIND BY PRO-CHOICE COUNTERTERRORISTS, who will mount similar terrorist attacks against well-known right-to-lifers. FATHER FRANK will be a natural target for pro-choice counterterrorists.

“I therefore advise you, Fr Frank, if you read that there has been another abortion-clinic shooting or bombing, get out of town immediately. Take a vacation abroad. Go visit the Vatican. If there is another act of anti-abortion terror, your life will not be safe in the USA.

“Good luck.”

Some other pro-life leaders received a similar message, and it has been reported to law enforcement.

Pro-abortion extremists call the pro-life movement "violent." Yet it's the most peaceful movement of social reform in our nation's history. In fact, the most confrontational aspect of our movement, Operation Rescue, brought about over 70,000 arrests from 1987 to 1994, yet not a single one of them was for violent activity.

We also know that any time a movement is as big as ours, there will be a handful of people - disconnected from the movement - who embrace violence as a tactic. The same was true of the civil rights movement and the abolitionist movement.

But of no movement is it more true than the pro-abortion movement. It's just that the public doesn't know of their fanatical violence. It starts in the womb, of course - the very action they promote as a "right" is in fact violence. "Typically, the skull is brought out in fragments rather than as a unified piece," abortionist Martin Haskell testified in court in 1999 regarding the legal "D and E" abortion procedure.

And their violence extends beyond the womb. Just visit http://www.prochoiceviolence.com to see that our movement has been able to document 8519 acts of violence (and counting) by the other side. Pro-abortion fanatics have attacked pro-life demonstrators, have kidnapped women to force them to abort, have murdered born babies, and much more.

So for the visitor to my blog to send that message just reinforces the truth about the "abortion-rights" fanatics. Violence is their way of life.

But why blame Obama? Of course, he is the most pro-abortion person elected to the Presidency. Perhaps they're thinking back to President Clinton, whose attempts to stop peaceful intervention coincided with the killing of some abortionists. Or perhaps they're thinking of President Kennedy's assertion, "Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable."

But we already have a peaceful revolution - and not only is it possible, it's growing! As long as I have anything to say about it, there won't be any "anti-abortion terror." Instead, there will be peaceful vigil, 24-hours a day, around abortion centers. That both stops abortions and stops the killing of abortionists.

Prayers for the protection of Fr. Pavone and all those who are active in the pro life movement.

43 million abortions since 1972, and that only the ones that were recorded.

The perpetrators of violence are threatening violence if we oppose them - how 1984’ish of them!

Adding my prayers for Father Pavone and all the other prolife heroes who demonstrate in front of the abortuariums of America trying to save innocent lives.

God Bless and Strengthen them for the great battles that lie ahead!

I fear the time is coming when conservative Christians and Jews may be persecuted on a large scale.

God Bless Father Pavone

He is an eloquent speaker, despite it’s source, this appears to be a fair article on Father Pavone.

http://www.villagevoice.com/2001-05-22/news/father-frank-s-crusade/2

Ah, a silver lining to always preferring Domino’s (or have they been sold?)

“Asked about Priests for Life’s largest donors, DeStefano is tight-lipped, though he concedes they include Tom Monaghan, the wealthy conservative Catholic who founded Domino’s Pizza. Priests for Life’s contributions grew from $1.3 million in 1998 to $5.3 million in 2000, according to tax returns and financial statements provided by DeStefano. At this rate of growth, the organization expects its 2001 income to exceed $10 million. “

Here is another quote from the article which might be dated in parts, interesting.

“Pavone invited Mark Crutcher onto his cable television show to give tips on putting abortion doctors out of business using malpractice litigation. Crutcher, who runs an antiabortion organization in Dallas, has written that his goal is “an America where abortion may be perfectly legal, but no one can get one.”

It wouldn’t be the first time that so-called priest has called for someone’s death.

Here comes the thugocracy! It will continue to be distributed so the leadership of the thugocracy can have “plausible deny-ability” of the activities going on to support their goals.

The same thing happens in Cuba. One anti-castro Cuban was continually harassed at their home to include people continually protesting outside the house and loud music being played all hours of the day and night so the person could not sleep. The person became a prisoner in their own home.

This can happen here folks.
