View from the choir

I am a Catholic layperson and Secular Franciscan with a sense of humor. After years in the back pew watching, I have moved into the choir. It's nice to see faces instead of the backs of heads. But I still maintain God has a sense of humor - and that we are created in God's image.

Prochoice violence: Broken windows and threats

From Lifesite news:

The home of long-time pro-life leaders Joseph and Ann Scheidler was attacked in the middle of the night last night, with bricks of asphalt being thrown through two front windows.
One of the bricks contained a threatening note from an obvious abortion supporter. The attack occurred around 2 am.

The note read: “We are crazy feminist bi***es who will destroy your sexist ideas.”

“P.S. I’ve had an abortion and no laws could ever stop me,” it continued. “You can’t make Queen Anne’s lace illegal, a******.” The seeds of the Queen Anne’s lace flower are traditionally believed to be effective as an early abortifacient.

Joseph and his wife Ann Scheidler are among the most respected pioneers of the pro-life movement, and have been active on behalf of the unborn for decades. Scheidler is the head of the Pro-Life Action League.

Scheidler told LifeSiteNews.com that he had gotten wind of a low-profile meeting of abortion activists in the vicinity last night, which he speculated could be linked to the vandalism.
While the first time his windows have been smashed, Scheidler said he was not new to such tactics.

“We’ve had spraypaint all over the columns, spraypaint on the garage, and of course when we’re out on the streets ... we’ve had knives thrown at us, metal and eggs, I got a bucket of paint on me one time,” he said. “So we’re used to hatred.”

A police report has been filed and a handyman scheduled for a separate repair was replacing the windows.
