Abortion proponents in uproar over pro-life handcuff mailer
The abortion lobby has taken note of Pro-Life Action League’s mailer project and doesn’t like it.
On January 22, the 42nd anniversary of the Supreme Court’s Roe v Wade decision, the League sent a mailer to every abortion clinic in the U.S.
Inside was a pair of plastic handcuffs, a photo of Oklahoma City abortionist Naresh Patel being arrested last month, and a note asking, “Could you be next?”
The note encouraged abortion workers to get out of the business for their own good and included PLAL’s Eric Scheidler’s personal cell phone number.
The list of abortionists and workers who have been arrested in the past four decades since abortion was been legal and supposedly moved off the back alley is as long as the reasons: extortion, tax evasion, sex abuse, drug abuse, illegally prescribing and selling drugs, murder, negligence, on and on. criminality.
And it makes sense. Those in the business of killing babies for a living have already demonstrated rather gaping character flaws. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to conclude they’ll commit other crimes.
But abortion proponents are up in arms. Quoting Planned Parenthood executive VP Dawn Laguens from a Cosmopolitan article devoted to the mailer:
“I think it reads like what it is: intimidation and harassment and a very implied threat,” she said. Abortion opponents “want to outlaw abortion and put women and doctors in jail. I think they’re sending about as clear a message as they can that that’s exactly what they want to do.”
How PLAL’s mailer could be construed as a threat to lock up women is a stretch, but Cosmo wasn’t alone. Kudos to BreitbartUnmasked.com for adding an illustration for flourish….
leftinalabama.com saw menace in the mailer as well, also accusing PLAL of supporting China’s one-child policy by buying Chinese-manufactured handcuffs – really.
I asked Scheidler, why all the attention? It’s not as if pro-life activists haven’t done similar mailings before.
“One reason is they think it makes us look like we’re trying to intimidate someone,” said Scheidler. “But if you think about it for more than a second – toy handcuffs and a signed letter including a personal cell number – a threat of what? If you’re committing crimes and I know about it, then I am going to turn you into the police; that’s not a threat.”
Eric noted the League gets pro-abortion counterparts – mailers with red coat hangers on them.
“We just laugh,” said Scheidler.
But PLAL’s mailer also hit close to home.
“I think they have a guilty conscience,” noted Scheidler. “Arrests like that of Naresh Patel put them in such a bad light. It exposes them for who they are. It has been really surprising to have two abortion providers actually call me as a result of the mailer – a pro-life activist – to try to justify what they’re doing.”
One, Anise Burrell from Summit Medical Center in Detroit, argued with Scheidler on the phone for 10 minutes.
“She kept repeating, ‘This is an ugly cruel world’ she was sparing children from being born into,” said Scheidler.
Abortion industry types know mailers such as PLAL’s may have the intended impact and prompt abortionists and workers to walk away. Planned Parenthood CEO Cecile Richards tried to mitigate the damage in a tweet…
Who's preventing more unintended pregnancies: healthcare providers or anti-abortion activists mailing them handcuffs? http://t.co/dXMQ5t1nlJ

Scheidler has indeed received calls and texts from workers wanting out.
But there is a flip side.
“I’ve received countless crank calls and crank texts,” noted Scheidler, adding someone complained to Facebook about him yesterday, which led to his account being suspended for three hours.
Then there are real the real harassers.
Jill Stanek is a nurse turned speaker, columnist and blogger, a national figure in the effort to protect both preborn and postborn innocent human life.
“leftinalabama.com saw menace in the mailer as well, also accusing PLAL of supporting China’s one-child policy by buying Chinese-manufactured handcuffs – really.”
If buying things made in China is supporting the one-child policy, I guess that must mean that literally everyone is in favor of it.
“She kept repeating, ‘This is an ugly cruel world’ she was sparing children from being born into,” said Scheidler.
Here, let me dismember you quickly so no one can ever hurt you again.
*smh*
So, Cecile Richards asks who does more to prevent unintended pregnancies – baby butchers and their cultists who support the slaughter of innocent new human beings and actually praise, applaud, champion, and push it, or pro-Lifers who try to save and protect human beings from being butchered?
Baby butcherers think like that, in terms of “wanted pregnancy” v “unwanted pregnancy.”
What happens to an “unwanted pregnancy?”
If the baby slaughterhouse champions have their way, the baby is violently assaulted and mutilated, her life rubbed out. Her tiny body is ripped to pieces. She is dismembered. Sharp and blunt objects are used to stab, chop, grap, pull, tear, puncture, and crush baby. Chemicals are used to burn baby alive. Suction devices are used to suction babies who are small enough, such as those in the late embryonic stage of development, down the suction device.
Baby who is a bit more mature can be subject to induced labor of her mother, and, while she is partially or even virtually totally out of mother’s birth canal, her tiny skull is punctured, a suction device inserted into the puncture wound, and the contents of baby’s skull are suctioned, causing her skull to collapse in on itself.
These are just some of the wonderful, loving, caring aspects of “ending a pregnancy.”
Giving birth actually ends pregnancy. It does not cause the death, which is clearly by violent, destructive, heinous means, as demonstrated in the paragraphs above, slaughter of the innocent little girl or boy, a child who has committed no crime, has not been defended in court, and is only alive as a result of the actions of one or more adult human beings, including the mother and the father, or the mother and third parties who took part in inseminating her, be it against her will, or via her choice to become pregnant, such as in artificial reproductive technologies, and so forth.
Defenders of babies’ lives have the moral high ground in this case, while champions of slaughtering babies, aka induced, elective abortion, abortifacients, and so on, are on the wrong side of morality, respect for life, compassion, and responsibility, as well as on the wrong side of history.
People who are “leaders” in the crusade against innocent babies are the kind of people I do not wish to befriend, communicate with, support, or in any way encourage. They should be shunned, feel shame for their depravity, and, as they are involved with the mass slaughter of innocent human beings, they should be stopped from propagating their violence and slaughter of innocent babies. Arrest and incarceration for life is too good for them, bit it is the least which should be visited upon such sadistic, cruel, prejudiced, bigoted, intolerant, violent thugs who pick on tiny, defenseless babies, for their own agenda.
It’s all about INtolerance. In the “brave new world” of current American society, anyone who is not politically correct will not be tolerated. Period. And anyone who espouses decency is not politically correct.
Politically correct is called such because it is indeed correct.
Decency can certainly be politically correct, it depends on what we consider decency to be.
I think PLAL touched a nerve there.
Congratulations to Eric Scheidler on his supremely effective campaign.
I expect a considerable bump in applicants for the services of ATTWN ministry as a result of his group’s efforts.
RE: “Abortion proponents in uproar over pro-life handcuff mailer”
It seems that abortion proponents are always in an uproar about something. A heart filled with hate is never at rest.
I see more uproar coming from the anti-choice side Claire, so there’s that.
An uproar demonizing Eric Scheidler for his action is ridiculous at best. An uproar defending baby butchers is unconscionable. An uproar defending the youngest, most helpless, most innocent among us is a wonderful thing (and it should be a lot louder than it is). German citizens should have mounted that kind of uproar during their holocaust.
You’ve rather missed the point Claire.
You said that the pro-choice side is always in an uproar about something. I simply pointed out that the anti-choice side is also often in an uproar about something.
You missed the point, un-Reality: There are good reasons for uproar (what German citizens should have done), and there are wrong reasons for uproar (RE the above article).
You’ve still missed it.
I didn’t say who may or may not be justified in their uproar. Just that both sides do so.
Your claim for what is a good reason or a wrong reason is only based on your personal stance on the topic, it isn’t factual.
Maybe you meant some colleges and universities have more administrative staff than educational staff rather than more administrative staff than students. Maybe you got stuck with an administrator?
First of all, “reality”, I haven’t heard any uproar from people who are pro-life. MSM media commonly refuse to cover such events.
Secondly, if there were an uproar to defend the killing of innocents, that would be a great thing. That should have happened in Nazi Germany, and in other times and places as well.
When you dismiss things as “non-factual”, you do so on the basis that you have no clear standard which defines what is right and what is wrong. Thus, your confusion on matters like this.
I haven’t heard any uproar from people who are pro-life. – and yet here you are, on this site. Hm.
‘killing of innocents’ – go talk to Rick Perry.
I have a quite clear standard which defines what is right and what is wrong. It may well differ from yours but that’s how it is for all of us. Therefore, no confusion on my behalf.
Found any educational/administrative/student number ratios yet?
