Thats odd, I cant seem to find anything about Pro-Abortion violence.
50 million children have died in these clinincs-is that enough violence for you?
Funny. You left out this part:

(June 2008)
Nearly all mainstream pro-life organizations reject violence as a form of opposition to abortion.
[9] Advocates of force tend to be small groups or lone individuals.
[9] Pro-life activism generally consists of
activism such as
picketing,
vigils, and “
sidewalk counseling” outside abortion clinics. Some governments have responded to such activities with
laws that protect access to abortion, particularly the creation of
buffer zones where protesters are not permitted to approach those entering or exiting facilities providing abortion.
In response to incidents of anti-abortion violence, many groups in the pro-life movement have sought to isolate themselves from violent factions in a number of ways. Many pro-life advocates have vocally condemned violent actions against abortion providers as running contrary to the values and goals of the right-to-life cause.

Following the 1998 bombing of a clinic in Birmingham, Alabama,
Feminists for Life offered a reward for the arrest and conviction of those responsible.
[25] In 2001,
Priests for Life, a group of pro-life Catholics in the United States, put in place a $50,000 reward for information that leads to the arrest of fugitives wanted in connection with violence against abortion providers.
[26] The
American Life League issued a “Pro-life Proclamation Against Violence” in 2006.
[27] Other pro-life groups to take a stand against violence include
Center for Bio-Ethical Reform and Pro-Lifers Against Clinic Violence. However, a few anti-abortion leaders have qualified their condemnation of anti-abortion violence by suggesting that the harm created by pro-life crime is small in comparison to the harm they associate with abortion providers. Scholarship contextualizes this support for violence as a political weapon against women’s rights, one that is associated with tolerance for violence toward women.

Although the
Roman Catholic Church has not officially released a statement corresponding explicitly to abortion-related violence, section 2265, chapter 5 of the official Catechism of the Catholic Church is as follows: “Legitimate defense can be not only a right but a grave duty for one who is responsible for the lives of others. The defense of the common good requires that an unjust aggressor be rendered unable to cause harm. For this reason, those who legitimately hold authority also have the right to use arms to repel aggressors against the civil” .
[29] Although open to interpretation, this is not a condemnation of vigilantes committing violence in good faith. However, the Church withdrew funding for two Canadian groups that had resorted to harassment of abortion providers.

Most pols are storing up time in hell, or at least purgatory, IMHO.
