Pro-lifers bear responsibility

OK, so the guy who shot up Planned Parenthood in Colorado is a lunatic and/or extremist, and does not represent pro-lifers in general.

Doesn’t this disparity in mentality and the repeated demonstrations of violence from pro-lifers burden the sane ones with monitoring and trying to inhibit this dangerous nuttiness in their ranks?
