A news story caught my eye recently: someone tried to burn down a clinic offering \u201cgender confirming surgery.\u201d I was glad to see no one was hurt, but the headline puzzled me. Quoting a former patient, it said<\/a> the attack \u201csounds a lot like anti-abortion radicals.\u201d<\/p>\n

Given that this facility has nothing to do with abortion, the reference is a little odd. And if you are<\/em> going to make a comparison, why not cite pro<\/i>-abortion violence? There\u2019s no shortage.<\/p>\n

Abortion makes life a whole lot easier…for guys like this<\/a>…<\/p>\n

You need to bring up the subject of abortion with every ounce of verbal finesse and situation-appropriate sensitivity. You should sound as sincere as possible and tell her that you want her to be the mother of your children one day, but that now is not the right time to start a family. Explain you want to wait until you are further along in your career\/life goals and you can afford to give your future family all the comforts of life you cannot deliver today. Finally, explain if she has the abortion now, you will be able to plan your lives together so that everything is perfect. Then, after she agrees and has the abortion, dump her.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

When you\u2019re a man looking to<\/a> \u201cexploit\u201d women with \u201clow self-esteem\u201d and \u201cdaddy issues,\u201d abortion comes in handy. After all, child support ain\u2019t cheap.<\/p>\n

But what happens when mom needs convincing? Well, some men use blackmail<\/a> or financial coercion<\/a>. Others prefer threats of violence; things can get bad when they\u2019re defied.<\/p>\n

Tanner Hopkins\u2019 girlfriend realized that when he started shooting at her<\/a>. She survived, but not everyone\u2019s so lucky. Hawa Gabbidon<\/a> wasn\u2019t; Shamari Jenkins wasn\u2019t either<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Tasha Rossette\u2019s throat was slashed<\/a> because she wanted to keep her child. Roxanne Fernando got buried under a snowbank<\/a> for the same reason.<\/p>\n

Shaniesha Forbes had an argument with her boyfriend about abortion; he set her on fire<\/a> when she lost. Speaking of fire, Joseph Minerd<\/a> used it to murder his ex-girlfriend for refusing to abort their child; her daughter died in the blaze too.<\/p>\n

These are far from being the only examples of pro-abortion violence<\/a>, but they help explain why the CDC lists homicide as a leading cause of death<\/a> among pregnant women.<\/p>\n

Of course, coerced abortions aren\u2019t just a way to save money–they can also help you make it. Human traffickers understand that, a fact Captain Jeff Williams of the Dallas Department of Public Safety testified about<\/a> before a state legislative hearing. In the video below, a trafficking survivor recalls being forced into two abortions, something she describes as \u201cthe hardest.\u201d<\/p>\n
