Ilyse Hogue, president of the abortion advocacy group NARAL Pro-Choice America, derided pro-life activists David Daleiden of the Center for Medical Progress and Troy Newman of Operation Rescue after they condemned the Friday shootings at a Colorado Springs Planned Parenthood.
Hogue implied that the shooting was a consequence of their pro-life work, saying that while they had freedom of speech, they “are not free from the judgment of the consequences of your hate-filled rhetoric.”
“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,” Hogue wrote.
David Daleiden is the founder of the Center for Medical Progress, which released a series of undercover videos over the summer showing Planned Parenthood’s harvesting of aborted baby parts and allegedly selling those organs. The Center for Medical Progress issued a statement following the shootings.
“The Center for Medical Progress condemns the barbaric killing spree in Colorado Springs by a violent madman,” the statement reads. “We applaud the heroic efforts of law enforcement to stop the violence quickly and rescue the victims, and our thoughts and prayers are with the wounded, the lost, and their families.”
Hogue went on to blast the president of Operation Rescue, writing, “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 judgment of the consequences of your hate-filled rhetoric,” Hogue concluded.
Newman also condemned the shootings in a statement Friday.
“Operation Rescue unequivocally deplores and denounces all violence at abortion clinics and has a long history of working through peaceful channels to advocate on behalf of women and their babies. We express deep concern for everyone involved and are praying for the safety of those at the Planned Parenthood office and for law enforcement personnel. We pray this tragic situation can be quickly resolved without further injury to anyone,” Newman wrote.
Hogue was likely referencing comments in a 2000 book, “Their Blood Cries Out,” co-authored by Newman, and which Australian MP Terri Butler recently invoked to deny Newman’s visa for a speaking tour on character grounds.
The Guardian reports that Butler pointed out this passage of the book: “In addition to our personal guilt in abortion, the United States government has abrogated its responsibility to properly deal with the blood-guilty. This responsibility rightly involves executing convicted murderers, including abortionists, for their crimes in order to expunge bloodguilt from the land and people.”
“Newman has never advocated violence against abortion providers or facilities and has instead adamantly encouraged pro-life activists to work through the legal, legislative, and justice systems to bring abortionists who are breaking the law and harming women to justice,” Operation Rescue replied in a September statement.
Hogue was not alone in blaming the “rhetoric” of pro-life activists following the shooting. Planned Parenthood Rocky Mountain CEO Vicki Cowart also blamed “hateful language, hateful speech” as part of a “negative environment” that encourages people to target Planned Parenthood.
Planned Parenthood also tweeted Sunday: “To all of the trolls who spew hatred and lob attacks at us, PP family, or supporters online, you are a part of the problem.”
Mother Teresa, at the 1994 National Prayer Breakfast attended by the pro-abortion President Bill Clinton and first lady Hillary Clinton, called abortion “the greatest destroyer of peace today.”
[I]f we accept that a mother can kill even her own child, how can we tell other people not to kill one another?” said Mother Teresa. “Any country that accepts abortion is not teaching its people to love one another, but to use any violence to get what they want. This is why the greatest destroyer of love and peace is abortion.”
How come I get the feeling it was all to draw attention away from the planned parenthood videos?
My own first thought was that I’d rather face judgement for “hate-filled rhetoric” than for industrial-scale infanticide.
Never...since abortion was made legal....have I ever observed hate by the pro-life folks....in fact, just the opposite....the love of life...
ISIS can murder with impunity in the name of Islam, and the left is out in force saying you cant judge all Muslims.
One Pro-Life guy goes off the rails, and the left is out in force blaming everyone who is Pro-Life.
And no, it is ridiculous to call this a "false flag."
It really was a random crazy guy, albeit one who probably didn't care one way or another about their business.
They are spinning a random event into justification for their continued existence.
I don't think that even correctly describes him.

In the Progressive mind (or what passes for a mind), the “hate”-filled rhetoric is far worse than state-sanctioned murder. For them, unborn babies are only a nice start—a warm-up for the Big Game.
Draw attention away from the videos.
Draw attention TO their annual Christmas fundraising drive.
She calls them “FAKE VIDEOS”??? Really??? Just like the Holocaust deniers who claim that the corpses filmed in mass graves were disinterred from local cemeteries...
More spew from the national infanticide league. That said, we shouldn’t waste much time with it. Infanticide isn’t going to be ended through electoral politics, the gop and it’s enablers have made that abundantly clear.

They are going to continue to lie and say PP was the target when it was not. There is no lie too low for a liberal to spew.
the judgment of the consequences of your hate-filled rhetoric.â€
As opposed to the consequences of infanticide running
to millions of innocent unborn humans?
Abortion, it’s just murder.
Yup. And at the same time attack Christians.
Thanks for that post. That’s the way I see it. The “mother” is taking away that person’s God given right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That person has just as much a right as anyone.
Some day we are going to look back and say “wow, we chopped up babies and sold their parts for money?! How barbaric!”. I hope it’s soon.
Islye Hogue is a soulless ghoul who promotes murder. She is soaked in the blood of innocents. What a barbarian. May she rot.
