Merely speaking out against Planned Parenthood may soon get you arrested for thought crimes

In the wake of the recent Planned Parenthood clinic shooting in Colorado Springs, leftist rhetoric has reached a fever pitch. Liberal media outlets, pundits and activists want to criminalize free speech regarding abortion, and are now labeling those who speak out against Planned Parenthood as “violent” or as “terrorists” – and on equal par with the shooter himself.
No sane person would condone the shooting deaths at the clinic, but to label all anti-abortion sentiment and opposition to Planned Parenthood as “domestic terrorism” would be equally insane, right?
Insane or not, that’s exactly what physician and medical journalist Jennifer Conti seems to be suggesting in an article she wrote for Slate:
“As news continues to unfold about Friday’s Planned Parenthood shooting in Colorado Springs, one thing is clear: Domestic terrorism remains unchecked, even on the day after Thanksgiving.
“To label this an isolated act of violence would be naive. In 2015 alone, there has been unprecedented harassment from anti-choice extremists, including most recently, a series of slanderous manipulated videos used to attack Planned Parenthood’s fetal tissue donation programs. And now this.”
In the second paragraph, Conti clearly equates “anti-choice” activism with violence. There has not been an attack on an abortion clinic since 2009, and so the claim that this is not an “isolated act of violence” is essentially the same as saying that any anti-abortion activism is a violent act.
The reality is that this was an isolated act of violence. No amount of obfuscation on the part of the leftist media can alter that fact.
Free speech = hate crime?
