Instruments of real violence
After Cesare Santangelo was caught by a Live Action investigator, claiming that he would not do anything to help a baby who had survived a botched abortion at his clinic, he lashed out with this senseless accusation:
I don’t like to feed into these people. I really consider them terrorists.
Wait. Just a second. A “doctor” who has been caught revealing that he is willing to
- break the law
- provide no medical care to a struggling newborn
- pressure a nervous woman into an abortion, and
- call a hospital “stupid” for following the law and caring for surviving babies
wants to call the mother and the organization who found him out a “terrorist”?
Hmm… What exactly is a terrorist? Let’s consult an expert – say the FBI. An FBI report on terrorism explains:
Terrorism is defined in the Code of Federal Regulations as ‘the unlawful use of force and violence against persons or property to intimidate or coerce a government, the civilian population, or any segment thereof, in furtherance of political or social objectives’ (28 C.F.R. Section 0.85).
Since when has an investigation – that consists of words, questions, and a video camera, no less – been considered “violent”? In fact, neither the mother who questioned Santangelo nor any member of the Live Action team itself has made a single violent statement, much less committed a violent act. Violence is contrary to the very position of pro-life activists. We do not commit violence to achieve peace. We do not support violence to stop violence.
Contrary to Santangelo’s ridiculous assertions, we are advocating for an end to violence. The very purpose of Live Action’s “Inhuman” investigation is to expose, condemn, and stop violence.
Santangelo – and other abortionists – are the ones who commit violence on a daily basis. They are the ones who cruelly suffocate an almost-born baby. They are the ones who basically behead a struggling newborn. They are the ones who, piece by bloody piece, pull a mutilated baby out of his mother’s once safe womb. They are the ones who use suction so strong, a developing baby crumples into a vacuum-like device, spine first. They are the ones who deny life-saving treatment to babies gasping for air, flailing their tiny arms, and silently begging for a chance at life.
Violence? Terrorism? We are not the ones who commit such atrocities. Instead, we speak out with all we have against violence – beginning with those who are the smallest, most innocent, and most helpless among us.
Stand with us as we call out abortion for what it is: an inhuman act of incredible violence against the most innocent victims possible. Sign our petition to stop the killing now! And join tomorrow’s #Inhuman TweetFest, exposing the violent truth behind America’s abortion industry.
