‘Moderating LifeSiteNews comments can be brutal’

I don’t envy Steve Jalsevec — the pro-life movement (and the right in general) is still plagued with bumpkins…

That is, there were all the usually expected pro-abortion, pro-gay diatribes and propaganda, but for us, much worse was the flood of horribly low-grade responses from “anti-abortion” persons rejoicing over the death of abortionist Booker and wishing him to be in Hell. Literally hundreds of these had to be removed because of the hatred they reflected.

I call these commenters “anti-abortion”, rather than pro-life, because that is what they were. These were unlikely to have been persons involved in the pro-life movement which strongly discourages hatred towards abortionists, their staff and women seeking abortion. Many of the comments from this anti-abortion mob were also downright racist.
