Wanted posters for abortion doctors incite violence

[quote=CBS News][B](CBS) [/B] They look like wanted posters from the Wild West. But they're not photos of criminals, [B]CBS News correspondent Michelle Miller[/B] reports -- they depict doctors in North Carolina who perform abortions. They asked us to block their faces.
"It doesn't say 'Wanted Dead or Alive' but the implications are clearly there," said a doctor, who, fearing for his life, asked to remain anonymous.
"I am always looking over my shoulder," the doctor said. "I know they know my car. They know my face. They've been to my house. They've put these posters in my neighborhood. So yeah, I look over my shoulder."
Those responsible for the fliers, Operation Save America, repeatedly protest abortions at women's health clinics in the Charlotte area. Claiming the doctors "harm women and kill babies," they list specific addresses and urge people to contact doctors there. One poster even cites a home address.
"These 'Wanted' posters are a call for my murder," a doctor said.
In the 1990s similar fliers were distributed in other cities. Then came the murders. Pensacola, Fla., doctor David Gunn and Dr. George Patterson of Alabama were shot and killed in 1993. Dr. John Britton was murdered a year later in Florida. All were targets on Wanted posters.
Dr. George Tiller survived an assassination attempt in Wichita in 1993. He was [URL="http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2010/04/01/national/main6354048.shtml"]killed in his church last year[/URL].
"We know what the pattern has been year after year," said Katherine Spillar, the executive vice president of the Feminist Majority Foundation. "Wanted poster, murder. Wanted poster, murder. We need tough prosecution before more doctors are murdered."
Flip Benham founded Operation Save America and says the new posters are not threatening.
"If you read the writing in there, it's wanted by Christ," Benham said. "We want them to meet Jesus."
Federal law makes it a crime to use force, or even the threat of force, to prevent people from accessing clinics. In 2002, a U.S. Appeals Court ruled that Wanted posters similar to these were a violation of that law.
"The decision back in 2002 only affects that region and that area," said [B]CBS News legal correspondent Jan Crawford[/B]. "It doesn't affect the poster in Charlotte that are at issue now."
"The posters are meant to call for my murder by that borderline person," said the doctor. "They are putting out the bait, they are putting out the message, the call, and hope that somebody will respond."
Women's rights groups have called for the Justice Department to investigate the posters fearing history could repeat itself.[/quote]
The call to violence in these posters are about as subtle as a fucking nuclear bomb being dropped on a big city. Wanna know what happened in the 1990's, when posters like this were put up? [I]PEOPLE WERE FUCKING MURDERED! [/I]George Tiller had a wanted poster in the 90's, and had an attempt on his life. About a decade later, HE'S FUCKING DEAD!
And the fucking pastor's justification.... His call to violence, again, is as subtle. as. an. ACTUAL. FUCKING. NUCLEAR! [B]BOMB!!!
[/B]"If you read the writing in there, it's wanted by Christ," Benham said. "We want them to meet Jesus."
IE, wanting him to meet his maker...
There are fucking laws against this bull fucking horse shit in those states.... The solution is simple:

So a call for violence is justified?
I actually like the term "Christianist". The far-right coined Islamist for extremist Muslims, extremist Christians should get their own title as well.

hahahha did I say that? Do you think locking up religious people and refusing them their rights is justified? if you do you're a fucking moron.

Look, I'm a 1ster all the fucking way (1stfag?), even if one's opinion is reprehensible as all fuck. But this shit isn't protected by the first amendment, even the state's law makes that clear.
[QUOTE=Captain Proton;25778115]lol[/QUOTE]
He's not referring to all Christians, just the over-zealous ones who are like the ones in the article.

you sound like an angsty atheist teenager that thinks it's cool to hate religion as a whole.

The posters depict doctors who preform abortions, and it's pretty obvious what a wanted poster is. It's implying that violence should be carried forth. Yes, we should lock up the 'Christianists' (as Zeke just referred to them as) who wish to carry forth violence.
Come on guys (Extremists). I'm against abortion this is the wrong way to go about it. Don't go killing peeps.
I'm constantly sickened by my own faith. I hate being a Christian sometimes, I swear.

oh I figured he was talking about christians as a whole.
Edit: Never mind.

You sound like someone who can't comprehend things very well.
He was referring to those persons who put up the wanted posters, not Christianity as a whole.

Taking atheism to the extreme would include forcing it on others. That isn't smart.

We'll come up with a word for them when they start existing en masse.
[QUOTE=ZekeTwo;25778364]We'll come up with a word for them when they start existing en masse.[/QUOTE]
But we have wonderful countries like the Czech Republic where almost all of the population is atheist and in South Korea nearly half the population is atheist. :3:
Of course, there is still the whole world that isn't.
That's because most atheists just don't care about religions.
Most atheists I know are sort of "I don't believe in god, but you do and that's cool."

Religion will be the downfall of civilization, it constantly hinders progress, and brainwashes people who would rather die than think for themselves.

Although religion, when taking to the extreme, is bad, one should not have an issue with moderate religion.
[QUOTE=The golden;25778803]In the whole history of humanity, there is no such thing as moderate religion.
There is always people who take it to extremes and are willing to die rather than change/make progress.[/QUOTE]
that can be said with anything
