This \u201cblame-the-rhetoric\u201d thing is a double-sided sword. If it\u2019s true, then accusing pro-lifers of causing death ALSO logically causes death. Thus, the next time a pro-life woman has a\u00a0Molotov cocktail thrown at her, she can use rhetoric to blame Linker\u2019s and Abcarian\u2019s rhetoric for causing violence against her. And then they can use rhetoric to blame her rhetoric for blaming their rhetoric for causing violence. And the cycle will just keep going.<\/em><\/p>\n

The main abortion advocate argument coming out of Colorado Springs is self-defeating. It is logically self-contradicting. Saying, \u201cYou cannot make accusations of violence because it causes violence\u201d makes as much sense as saying, \u201cI don\u2019t know a single word of English.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
