The national director of Priests for Life has called on all people to reject violence “whether directed against abortion providers or against unborn children, and furthermore to reject the idea that we can be against one type of violence but for the other.”
Fr. Frank Pavone made the comment after Boston Magazine Online published "Confessions of an Abortion Doctor" in its January 2005 issue. The author admits that she withheld her name for safety reasons, recalling that John Salvi killed some clinic workers 10 years ago.
“We reject all violence, against unborn children, against abortionists, and against everyone else. But doesn't this abortionist realize that the words of those who kill people like her are simply an echo of her own?” said Fr. Pavone in a statement.
In the article, the doctor says that all medical professionals who provide abortions believe in what they’re doing and “think it’s a good thing and a right that needs to be available.”
