BOULDER, Colo. -- The head of the Boulder Abortion Clinic said that an anti-abortion group's neighborhood leaflet campaign is an effort to get him killed.

In a full-page ad published in local newspapers over the weekend, Dr. Warren Hern said the flyers, distributed by a group that calls itself Operation Save America, were designed to cause hate and fear and to get someone to kill him.

As proof, Hern points to other abortion doctors who have been killed after neighborhood flyers identified them.

The flyers labeled Hern a "baby killer" and were placed in the doors of a Boulder neighborhood.

"It's not freedom of speech," said Hern on Monday. "This is terrorism. The purpose of the flyers is to get somebody to kill me."

In his ad, he called the group fascist and said, "They would stop at nothing to impose their views on other people."

1. Christian fascists

Need to be treated like the danger to freedom and democracy that they are.Fascism is not a legit belief system.Theocracy is fascism with biblical trappings people.


I wonder what these fascist boot boys would do if we started calling for Robertsons head or Falwell's and dropped flyer's at churches warning the fascists the churches preachers,followers that preach fascism and theocracy would be held accountable as accomplices if the doctor is murdered?

Then they'd claim they feel persecuted and never get honest enough to admit they brought it all upon themselves by being bullies itching to fight they encourage murder get someone killed,The RW churches will get a bloody nose..and the bad P.R. they deserve.

I hate this bullshit plausible deniability game..We know these people are christian fascists bullies hiding under bibles.Regardless I hope someone protects the doctor,steps up to bodyguard him.Surely there must be pro choice people willing to be extra eyes and ears an watch out for him and will stand up as witnesses if something happens to him?

6. Sounds like libel to me.

Not that a lawsuit would do anything more than put these dim fucks in an even bigger spotlight.

7. They have a whole political power structure set up...

...just to handle lawsuits like that.

8. Good for him.

The spokesman for the fascists had the nerve to tell the paper this was "a wake up call" for Dr. Hern.

9. How is that fighting back? He should buy a gun and a dog.

He's talking about being upset. He's not doing anything. He's not suing them for harassment. He's not taking photos of them and setting up his own website, "Deranged Terrorists.com". He's not hiring Hell's Angels to bodyguard him.

10. I guess you missed this bit

In a full-page ad published in local newspapers over the weekend, Dr. Warren Hern said the flyers, distributed by a group that calls itself Operation Save America, were designed to cause hate and fear and to get someone to kill him.

Also, from Dr. Hern's website, check out his articles and Op-Ed writings on choice, going back 33 years. This man has been a staunch defender of choice longer than I've even been alive.

He is likely already armed and probably has a bullet-proof vest or some other body armor.
