Angry abortion advocates target pro-lifers

Death threats against leaders of the pro-life movement are being reported to authorities.

The threats come in the aftermath of the assassination of abortionist George Tiller in Wichita, Kansas. One of the threat victims is Troy Newman of Operation Rescue.
 
"You know, as someone who's been in the public eye for a number of years speaking out against abortion, death threats and threats against our persons, even our family members, has been a constant occurrence -- and unfortunately, that has increased dramatically," he admits.
 
Newman believes there is an anti-Christian, anti pro-life bias in the world, particularly in the media, and adds that some of the people are even more frightening than an abortionist with a knife.Troy Newman
 
"Unfortunately, it's something we have to bear. But it's also something we need to be acutely aware of and take proper security measures to make sure we're not victims of pro-choice violence," he concludes.
 
Violence against anyone cannot be tolerated, says the activist.
