      Damon Linker Retweeted Jeet Heer

      Now imagine: "We're really having a debate on whether we have to be civil to people who murder babies in utero? Fuck civility." I would be genuinely shocked if Jeet did not respond to such a tweet by pronouncing it an incitement to violence.https://twitter.com/HeerJeet/status/1010722442338357248 …

      We're really having a debate on whether we have to be civil to people who tear babies & children away from their parents, leading to incalculable trauma? Fuck civility.

      Incivility isn't violence. Many prolifers are already incredibly uncivil (go to any abortion clinic & see the protestors harassing those seeking a legal procedure).

          Exactly. James Kopp wasn't exactly civil.

          I realize that. But incivility is somewhere between civility and violence. Once people begin to abandon civility, we enter a realm of politics that can easily bleed over into violence. As I think you’d recognize in such a tweet by a pro-lifer.

          Honestly, I think statement"fuck civility" would be much more elevated & rational & honest than standard prolife fare (i.e. screaming murder & posting photos of mangled fetuses).

          Replying to @HeerJeet @DamonLinker

          As they should be. I’m pro-choice, but if I genuinely thought hundreds of thousands of babies were being murdered every year I would be uncivil as fuck about it. It’s bizarre how people like linker think norms of polite behavior should trump all other values.

          By “any abortion clinic” you mean the one or two anomalies.

          There's nothing 'pro-life' about people who would force a woman to carry a pregnancy to term against her will (and especially those who care not one jot about actual children).
