I read this initially on Stand to Reason's blog.

World (http://www.worldmag.com/articles/13694) decries recent violence related to pro-life activists. But it's not what you think. In this case, the pro-life activists are the victims.
The attack on Snell was the second in less than four months on a pro-life sidewalk counselor—both of which resulted in criminal charges—and it has pro-life activists raising an interesting question: Had the pro-lifers in both cases been the attackers instead of the victims, would mainstream media have picked up the stories?
The have a point. Had a pro-lifer commited some act of violence, it would have been splurged across the International Press. But when violence is done to the prolifer's it's hardly being reported, if at all.

Note: Don't get me wrong here, I think that violence should enter the arena at all.
