http://www.rightwingwatch.org/content/anti-planned-parenthood-activist-troy-newmans-terrifying-woman-shaming-apocalyptic-manifestoAlthough Their Blood Cries Out is now out of print, it has had some influence among anti-abortion activists. Frank Pavone of Priests for Life wrote the foreword to the 2003 edition. Scott Roeder, the anti-abortion terrorist who killed abortion provider George Tiller after spending time with Operation Rescue, had a signed copy. (There are long passages in the book comparing Tiller to Adolf Hitler.)
Their Blood Cries Out is not written in focus-grouped, more moderate language that even activists like Newman are now attempting to use. Instead, its an Old-Testament-heavy tirade that calls for the execution of abortion providers, calls women who have abortions murderesses and warns of Gods impending judgment on the nation for legal abortion, a judgment that Newman says has already begun through calamities such as the 9/11 terrorist attacks and the AIDS epidemic....
Newman explains that abortion providers and women who seek abortions bear personal bloodguilt for their actions, while the nation as a whole bears community bloodguilt for failing to stop them the church through failure to win souls and the government through a failure to prosecute abortion as murder, as he says the Bible commands....
Although he never explains exactly what he thinks the civil punishment for women who have abortions should be, Newman directly calls for the execution of abortionists as convicted murderers who are bringing Gods judgment on America:

Wonder how many young boys have been ass-raped by the "Priests for Life"?
The don't value life; they value power and control, and they get off on other people's suffering.
There are no words to describe the depths of my loathing for these christo-fascists

The War on Women has been especially effective in getting many to feel as though Christians need to march in lockstep against the idea of allowing abortions of any type to ever be legal, to the point of criminalizing miscarriage, itself. Those who try to conscript religious Christians into this war do so under the argument that the Bible itself demands such a prohibition.
Except that it doesnt. The Bible never once specifically forbids abortions; its actually quite the contrary! Not only were methods of abortion well-known at the time, theres times when the Bible states God commands that one take place. Im going to walk through a few examples as illustrations.
Tamar: Killing an Undesirable Pregnancy
Hosea: Progeny of the Rebellious Shall Not be Born
Sotah: Abortion-Inducing Potion due to Husbands Jealousy
Causing a Miscarriage: Mere Property Loss

and terroristic threats are enough to get you tossed into the Crowbar Hilton in most states. This fuckwit belongs there, yesterday.
