People Who Need to STFU Today

In his first (and last) appearance, that’s Operation Rescue head Troy Newman, beating his utterly dishonest drum that doctors who provide abortion care are a bunch of charlatans who regularly harm their patients. Are there cases of malpractice in abortion care? Yes. Are there more malpractice issues in abortion care than in any other area of medical practice? No one has ever proven that. And in fact, rather the opposite.

But that hasn’t stopped Newman from putting out a $25,000 bounty on the heads of any abortion provider who has a mercenary staffer willing to “blow the whistle” on any violations in the provider’s practice — rather than taking those concerns to the provider, or if necessary, to the authorities who license and monitor clinics and doctors. It’s just more in his campaign to harass and harm abortion providers, because his gang of terrorists can’t accept that abortion is legal in this country.

Troy, for the first time and binding forever, let the command be heard from coast to coast: STFU!
