Violent terrorists have taken the lives of 7 people in supposed anti-abortion tactics. And yet, the Liberals try label the anti-abortion movement as a whole as terrorism.
Palestinian terrorists have killed 1,000s and yet they are freedom fighters? More liberal hate-mongering? I think so... opinions?

Isn't it great? When you talk to someone about Muslim extremists, they say something stupid like "yeah, but Christians do it too. Look at the people who bomb abortion clinics."
Yeeeeah, that's like 10 people. The Muslims extremists make up about 7-12% of Islam... a LOT more than a handful.
But I'm just an evil conservative who likes blowing up brown people, right? Give me the thumbs down now.

As a liberal, I don't label the pro-life movement as a terrorist organization, but the ones who bomb these clinics are terrorists by definition.
I have to say that I'm on the fence concerning Palestinians. With the limited amount of time that I've spent reading about the Palestine/Israel conflict, I have yet to decide if the Palestinians are freedom fighters or terrorists. I try to imagine what if Mexico reclaimed Texas, or Russia decided the Alaska land purchase was null and void. Would they be legitimate freedom fighters or terrorists? Depends on where you're sitting, I guess.
In any case, reality is a lot different from sound bites and talking points. Overall this was a good question, except for your less than veiled hatred of liberals.

I disagree with abortion, I would never have an abortion. I think it is morally wrong.
But that said, it is pure hypocrisy for someone who claims to be pro-life to kill. It doesn't matter how just your cause is, you kill and you have forfeited any kind of morality. There are some anti-abortion campaigners who say 'Who made the abortion doctors God so they can chose who dies.' and then kill the doctors, taking upon themselves the mantle they claim others can't. See anything wrong here? What right do anti-abortionists have to decide who lives and who dies? They seem to believe only they have that right.

Can I say conservatives vs. environmentalists. Hey they haven't even really killed anyone and are considered terrorists. On the other hand, anti-abortionists who are killing people are fighting for the rights of unborn children.
Kind of like the pot calling the kettle black. Maybe both sides should take a look at themselves and realize that they are backing hate mongering murderers based on the fact that it gets them votes.

A PORTION OF THE ANTI ABORTION MOVEMENT IS FANATICAL AND THEY DO PARTAKE IN TERRORIST ACTS, BUT TO BLAME ALL FOR THE ACTS OF A FEW IS WRONG ESPECIALLY WHEN THE ONES THAT ARE NOT FANATICAL STEP UP AND CONDEMN THE TERRORIST ACT. BLOWING UP A CLINIC OR KILLING PEOPLE TO GET YOUR POINT ACROSS IS WRONG . YOU MIGHT AS WELL JOIN THE TALIBAN.

There are lots of stupid attempts by people on both sides of the political spectrum to "discredit" the "other side" by imposing guilt-by-association. Your example is but one of these.

Wouldn't it make more sense to label the pro-choice movement as fanatical because thousands of babies are killed every year?

yes, anti-abortioners are fanatic terroists, but p.e.t.a.'s eco-terrorism ties don't stop liberals from labelling them "animal rights advocates"

Partial birth abortion kills thousands and thousands of viable babies every year, we all know the real terrorists are abortion doctors. Tho I myself would not get violent with them, I do cheer each time one of them gets whacked.

That's crazy. "I promote life! Now, die, sucka!". I think that's radical. But not every pro-lifer is killing people, either.
