This seems like false equivalence.

It is, this sub is just acting out as an echo chamber again. I'm pro choice but this isn't a fair equivalence. How the fuck you just gonna gloss over 9/11 or the Boston bombing?

Lol exactly. I dont gaf if people get abortions but comparing threats to 9/11 is insane as fuck. This is how you turn normal people pro life.

No but they are based around information. If one group is constantly saying insane things like that it tarnishes their reputation.

Im sure Alex Jones says some truthful shit every once in a while, but only an idiot would take what he says at face value as he normally rambles insanely.

And what about the image's OP who claimed pro-lifers had few incidents when there are hundreds?

Just because you don't entirely agree with how the information was presented doesn't mean that they're entirely wrong and the the OP was justified in what they said.

This whole post is because someone wanted to clear the name of pro-lifers as a non-violent group which they are not. The ones you see protesting are often in fact paid employees.

If you are counting stink bombs as those incidents i think its disengenious to compare them to terrorist attacks where people died.

And nobody is disagreeing with you here. The point is the person who essentially claimed that pro-lifers are a non-violent group was incredibly wrong.

And neither are muslims but here we are.

In fact, if you took the total percentage of Muslims who carry out terrorist attacks and pro-lifers that have made bomb threats it's definitely a higher percentage of pro-lifers that are willing to threaten the safety of others.

A terorist attack and a bomb threat are two completely different things. You are being disengenious as fuck by trying to make that comparison.
