Here is some research taken from Human Life International's "Abortion Violence"
Pro Abortion:
1965-2008
Deadly and Extreme Crimes (classified as murder, rape, kidnapping incest, forcible sodomy, violent sex crimes against women and children):
2,661
Less Serious Crimes resulting in actual injury (Assault and battery, sexual harassment and misconduct, harassment, coercion, extortion, crimes against children, endangering and wounding others, forced abortion, and violation of civil rights):
1,315
Property Crimes (arson, firebombing, burglary, vandalism, destruction of property, theft, larceny, and butyric acid attacks):
856
Pro-life:
Deadly and Extreme Crimes (classified as murder, rape, kidnapping incest, forcible sodomy, violent sex crimes against women and children):
28
Less Serious Crimes resulting in actual injury (Assault and battery, sexual harassment and misconduct, harassment, coercion, extortion, crimes against children, endangering and wounding others, forced abortion, and violation of civil rights):
169
Property Crimes (arson, firebombing, burglary, vandalism, destruction of property, theft, larceny, and butyric acid attacks):
1,789
Getting more specific, here are the exact number of deaths from the Abortion war, 1965-2008.
Murders, Manslaughters, Infanticides by pro-choice (not counting women killed by "safe and legal" procedures):
941
Women killed by "safe and legal" procedures:
365
Total killed by Pro aborts: 1,306
Total killed by Pro-lifers: 7
And finally, according to the National Abortion Federation, Pro-lifers were responsible for 147,867 incidents of "violence and disruptive behavior" implying that pro-lifers killed thousands of people in their protests, in . However, a closer look at this shows that the NAF's statistic is misleading.
Out of these 147,867 violent and disruptive acts:
128,690 (87%) were picketing.
12,563 (8.5%) were hate mail, harassing phone calls, or email/internet harassment.
3,654 (2.5%) were trespassing (2,201), vandalism (1,353), or stink bomb attacks (100, lol)
thus 98% of the incidents documented by the NAF were not violence at all.
As for the remaining 2%,
7 were murders
17 were attempted murders
4 were kidnappings
216 were arsons and bombing of abortion clinics (yes, I know that this doesn't make the bombings right, but the vast majority of bombings were done at late night, when the buildings were empty)
Well there you have it, I'm not in the least bit surprised that the pro choice side killed that many people. It just goes to show you what a disrespect of human life can do to someone.
Interesting. While this data is probably true, you got it from a site that is very biased towards the pro-life side, so how do you know they do not just give only the facts that conviniently support their arguments?
I say this because when I was debating a while back in discussions over religion some of my opponents kept using "scientific" information to support their points that they got from completly Christian sites, and when I checked up on the sites and did some background research I found that most of the experiments that yeilded the so called "scientific" data were hardly credible.
But I can believe this data, pro choicers probably are more violent.
This is hardly an unbiased source, and its wrong. I've never, ever heard of someone killed because they believed abortion was wrong. Give an example to prove me wrong. I can mention many people who have been killed for giving abortions.
Is it just me, or are these statistics counting abortion as a crime?
I have personally heard "pro-lifers" say that abortion clinics should be bombed and that abortion doctors should be shot.
How much you want to bet the pro-life side has more weapons?
This also counts as accidents during the operation. Are they going to compile a list of pro-appendectomy violence next?
I could compile statistics that include suicides associated with pregnancy or death in child birth as pro-life violence, and I'd have the same integrity of these people.

I personally think this shows the extent to which disrespect for human life can grow (although I think they should include violent sex crimes against men, too). This list also excludes the number of children killed against their will inside the womb, but I think that's because federal law regards the fetus as less than human, the same way slaves were regarded many years ago. People seem to think that disrespect for life does not ever go beyond the womb, but it does. When the State deems some humans as less deserving of their rights than others, it's a plant of rapid growth that only gets worse with time. Liberty begins at life, the most essential liberty of all. Without the right to life, there are no other rights. Thank you for posting this. Thank you so much, Politikart. You've done all of us a favor.
God bless you, and God bless America.

PLEASE, DO THROW GARBLED STATISTICAL DATA AT US and make a very vague statement about it that's supposed to be your point.
Also LOL @ pro-lifers committing more property crimes than pro-choice. "Mwehehe I'll get back at them by smashing their garden gnomes, I'm so evil >:3"
Well if I can somewhat read that that poorly organized mess of statistics, it looks like pro-choicers are more EEEEEEEVUL than pro-lifers, so obviously the latter have to compensate by doing SOMETHING evil. Even if it means harassing a minority such as garden gnomes.
