Are Pro-Lifers “Violent Fanatics?”
Abortion is a bit bloody. So is a root canal. It's a f—ing operation! If you think abortion is gruesome, you should see childbirth; an ordeal that is ten times moredangerous to a woman's health ... The anti choice movement is like self help for them.Too bad there's no "Fanatics Anonymous" to give them the help they need.— SUNY student Michelle Goldberg.

"NBC News does not use the term "prolife," which it regards as loaded, but if someone wanted to use "pro-choice," I'd say that was fine." — NBC News Editor Gilbert Millstein.

Introduction.
We hear a lot about "anti-choice violence" and an "organized campaign of terror and intimidation against reproductive health centers."Most Americans, and, indeed, many people from other nations perceive the struggle over abortionin the USA to be a vicious, violent battle — with all or most of the violence being committed byso-called "fanatical anti-choicers."This is entirely due to the indefensible actions of a handful of deranged individuals and the persistent and monolithic bias of the national broadcast, print and entertainment media.
Stereotyping by “Pro - Choicers
.
”
The public perception of pro-lifers as violent thugs is partlyfueled by the stereotyping perpetrated by virtually all "pro-choice" organizations and the better-knownabortionists, including third-trimester abortionist Warren Hern, who makes a living committing themost hideous kind of violence.Hern says that[Pro-lifers] are, with few exceptions, vicious, irrational, absolutely ruthless,unscrupulous, pitiless, and driven by hatred. They are willing to accept any level of violence, not to mention social disruption and imposition of emotional pain to reachtheir goals. Every anti-abortion demonstrator must now be considered armed,dangerous and a potential assassin until proven otherwise. The anti-abortionmovement must be considered the source and spawning ground of a violent, terroristmovement which threatens the social fabric and civil society of laws of the UnitedStates. ... The general atmosphere is one of survival. Twenty-five percent of theclinics have been bombed. This is a highly repressive, totalitarian [pro-life]movement, similar to the Brown Shirts who broke windows in Jewish shops inGermany.

do
people stereotype others?
