      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).

      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).

          They skipped right over refusing us service in restaurants and went right to calling us babykillers and blowing things up

          Is it OK to not bake a cake for abortion doctors?

          Much more recently a leftist shot at and tried to kill GOP reps practicing baseball. You all are responsible for that guy, right?

          Approximately half the country is pro life. Approximately not half go to abortion clinics and yell at people. Perhaps we should engage the best champions each side has to offer instead of cherry picking the nuts? That's like my saying every pro choicer is Gosnell.

          Unfortunately there is a large contingent of people on both the right and left that have given up on their fellow citizens and view them as nothing more than malicious obstacles.

          Sigh...why don't you locate and then post evidence of actual pro-lifers throughout America shouting "murderer" at women going into abortion clinics. Seriously, do you obtain all your info on pro-life activism from Planned Parenthood pamphlets?

          Totally dishonest. If every prolifer shouts murder at clinics then every left winger shoots up republican baseball practices. Amazing what you can justify when you judge a group by a select few and saying the other 99% isn’t civil

          It most certainly is at women's health care clinics. Why do you think they need escorts? "Pro-lifers" harass and terrorize women all day, every day.
