Wow, what a misleading headline! 😦

According to the source used by LifeNews, the man is being sued because
"Defendant Retta has been among the most vocal and aggressive anti-abortion protestors outside of the clinic.

“On January 8, 2011, Mr. Retta physically obstructed a patient from entering the clinic, and physically obstructed clinic escorts, such that the patent was only able to ultimately access the clinic with the extraordinary assistance and intervention of another clinic escort and staff,” the complaint states.

Code: 
 While blocking a "visibly upset" patient and her escorts from the clinic entrance, shifting and weaving to block them repeatedly, Retta "shouted at the escorts and yelled to the patient, 'Don't go in there. Don't let them kill your baby,'" the complaint states.

I don’t know if the allegations against Retta are accurate or not. But LifeNews does his cause a disservice with such an inflammatory and inaccurate headline.

You know, I’ve noticed this alot lately. I know headlines are supposed to attract readers to the story, but sheesh!
 
Its just silly.Did anyone think about how childish this is?I may be able to understand a two yr.old child getting mad at her sister for scuffing her shoes and yelling for mommy to do something about it,but come on these people are grown up human beings.

Childish does not even begin to describe it. This kind of behavior does serious harm to the legitimate anti-abortion cause and erodes potential support from those in the middle who could probably have been swayed. Besides, being counterproductive (in the normal course of things, most people react negatively to someone yelling in their faces) I don’t see how behaving this way reflects Christian values. Like it or not, unless there’s a law against a particular behavior, people are legally allowed to exercise their free will in making choices that are morally right or morally wrong by our standards. Persuasion may or may not work but antagonizing people most likely will backfire and will just provide fodder for those who already employ examples like Tiller’s killer to portray pro-lifers as hate-filled extremists.
