Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- Following the shooting of late-term abortion practitioner George Tiller on Sunday, the Obama administration is stepping up security for abortion centers across the country. The move will be taken even though the shooting was carried out by a vigilante unaffiliated with the pro-life movement. Attorney General Eric H. Holder has given the order for the U.S. Marshals Service to begin protecting certain abortion businesses and abortion practitioners. He said Sunday evening that the Obama administration will take "appropriate steps to help prevent any related acts of violence from occurring." He said he made the order "to offer protection to other appropriate people and facilities around the nation." As a precautionary measure, we will also take appropriate steps to help prevent any related acts of violence from occurring," he added. There did not appear to be any effort on the part of the Obama administration to protect leading pro-life organizations or pro-life leaders who may be subjected to violence in response to the Tiller shooting. LifeNews.com has already received harassing emails from abortion advocates responding to the shooting and has learned that pro-life groups have received harassing emails and phone calls.

She said anyone who describes abortion as the killing of babies "ought to be prosecuted as an accessory to murder, as well as for partaking in domestic terrorism."
The above statement from the last article you linked just astounds me. Just goes to prove that the left is all for "free speech", as long as you agree with them. This is further emphasized by the following statement that was made by abortion provider Hern in Boulder, CO...
"Even the silent vigils in front of the abortion clinics—and they happen in my office—is harassment and intimidation. It is not free speech. And I think that people need to understand that there is a difference between harassment of people who are coming for a private medical care and harassment and free speech. There‘s a big difference."
I wonder if he would be surprised to know that the people who hold vigil outside of his clinic are also continually offering up prayer for him and his staff (and their safety)and praying that the Lord gets a hold of them. There is just as much prayer going up for this, I believe, as there is prayer for the babies, patients, the end to abortion, etc. Does he honestly wish to restrict peoples right to LEGALLY stand outside of his clinic and offer up prayer for him? If so, I am truly heartbroken for such a hardened heart.

Jill, I don't think he sees it. His conscience is being pricked. He wants them to stop reminding him that what he is doing is wrong.

I think the one of the most telling things is that there is no report of Marshalls being sent to guard recruitment centers.
