J. Bradley Horner, former candidate for Mayor of Athens Alabama. The windchill at this time was in the upper 30's. We were all bundled up. Felt so sorry for those cold children. Mr. Horner tried his best to start something with the clinic escorts, but we don't respond, only record. This video was taken in Huntsville AL.
For the record there is NOBODY that I am aware of on the pro-choice side who wants there to be more abortions. That is why they are always also outspoken advocates for sex education and increased access to birth control.
What this man did is indefensible in my eyes, and a clear case of child abuse.
That little girl could no be older than four or five and has no idea what this man is saying to her other than the fact that these people standing in front of them are evil.
And make no mistake the anti-choice movement in this country is only growing stronger and more aggressive, in their attempts to strip women of the right to have control over their reproductive organs.
Just read this courtesy of Mother Jones.
We are steadily losing ground in this argument for choice, and with fathers like this demonizing people fighting to protect Roe vs Wade it makes me worry about the future.
Jesus fuck...
ReplyDeleteI'd like to take this son-of-a-bitch and make HIM wait out in the cold until he agreed with ME on something.
Fortunately, this little girl is still too young to fully understand the concept of death. If the father keeps this kind of crap up, she'll either turn out to be a rebellious child or a totally compliant one. I'm hoping for the former. And yes, this is definitely child abuse.
ReplyDeleteHow do we know for sure she's too young to fully understand the concept of death? Where's the mother in all this? I witnessed a trolley car run someone over at five, and I needed help from the pros. We're talking cobblestone where the tracks were and asphault on either side. He got run over and dragged one block to my stop. Imagine ground beef, thrombosis and exposed broken bones. Someone may be eating so I'll leave it at that. No one could convince me he'd be better or that death was temporary.
DeleteLooks and sounds like child abuse to me..
ReplyDeleteWhat an abusive asshole.
ReplyDeleteDid you notice in the first few seconds of the video that the baby the man was holding was barefooted? In weather with a windchill factor of ~30-35 degrees? What kind of person subjects defenseless babies to the risk of hypothermia?
ReplyDeleteAnswer: The same kind of person Sarah Palin is, who did the same thing to Trig in November 2010... A narcissistic sociopath.
I know you can't stand Sarah Palin, I can't stand her either. BUT why does she have to be dragged into every conversation? I for one, get so sick and tired of seeing that nasty bitches name
DeleteIs there any length to which these "Xtians" will go to "save their souls?" That little girl looked so frightened and/or bewildered. Life is difficult enough and if there were a god who loved us and was almighty he sure as hell would not allow anyone to frighten one of his little flock so they feared every adult everywhere wondering what the adults were going to do to them. Pu-u-ulease-e-e-e
ReplyDeleteSo sick of the "christians' claim that to believe in a woman's right to choose means we want to murder children.Fuck you, "prolife" assholes!
ReplyDeleteThe whole thing is ghastly, but notice how at 0:44 he lowers his pointing finger and makes a shaking fist as he says, "...and I love you. I would never do anything to hurt you in any way." I feel for those children. I'd wager this creep is an abuser...in every way.
ReplyDeleteVery observant of you to notice the fist. It's not a stretch to picture him beating his daughter 'for her own good' because 'he loves her.'
Delete"We are steadily losing ground in this argument for choice"
ReplyDeleteThis is as horrifying as the video. Pro-choice/women's freedom advocates have given up ground, in part, by playing defense and apologizing for abortion rights rather than supporting them unequivocally.
I'm begging you to consider dropping negative arguments that contribute to the perception that abortion is evil and shameful and foster the idea that limiting access to abortion is okay, such as:
no one likes abortion/'wants there to be more abortions'
or
[insert GOP politician's name] is even against abortion in the case of rape and the life of the mother
Please.
That father is a prick, he totally lied to his daughter about what choice is.
ReplyDeleteI predict the girl will be sneaking out of the house by 14 and pregnant by 16. Poor girl.
DeleteChild Abuse, This guy needs a license to reproduce. His kids need counseling and a loving environment. No one wants more abortions. All we want is Safe, Legal, Sterile and rare abortions. More birth control education and age appropriate sex education starting in grade school. Is that asking too much?
ReplyDeleteThat poor girl will grow up to feel sexuality is dirty, shameful and she's less deserving of being truly loved by her family especially. FWIW, the protesters handled themselves with quiet dignity. Elevating this man's misplaced anger wouldn't help in any way.
Pat Benetar was right. "Hell is for Children"
I have always been confused about why men seem to be the most vociferous anti-choice advocates. Is it because they get the women pregnant and, by golly, no one gets to change that? Do they see "choice" as an attack on their manliness? Frankly I think that men are the problem. If they acted more responsibly in the first place, etc., etc., etc. For men, like the one in the video, this is an issue of control. No woman is going to have any rights to make decisions for herself or for the child, which he would probably deny is really hers anyway.
ReplyDeleteWhenever I am confronted by a "pro-life" individual in a phone call or in person, I always ask if he/she is in favor of universal health care. The person always wavers. It is my firm belief that to be "pro-life" one has to believe in life and be willing to support all children once they are born, with good health care, housing, employment for the parents, adequate food, and the best schooling possible. Too many people in this country spout the "pro-life" mantra but their belief in life ends at birth. Ironically, being "pro-choice" means believing in life.

Asshole plays to the camera.
ReplyDeleteThis man initially stopped at the clinic alone and went off on the clinic escorts. When he couldn't get a rise out of them he left and 15 minutes later returned with his children. The wind chill was 35 degrees F that day. Neither child had a coat on. A good Samaritan from a day care center next to the clinic brought out a blanket for the baby. This man lied when he said "you asked me what the signs were about" as the little girl was not even aware of the clinic till her *loving dad* brought her there. That little girl was nothing more than an extension of his ego. Sadly the only thing that registered with her was killing babies and you can bet she is still wondering why her *loving daddy* took her little brother to a place where he *might* be killed.
ReplyDeleteI'm the person who filmed this video and uploaded it to my youtube channel Wed. afternoon. It has gotten over 5,000 hits, been embedded hundreds of times and has been seen all over the world. reddit, realitycheck.org...huffpost asked for permission. We have to keep the pressure on that these antis are extremists. In the long run, it helps to keep the minds of Americans open and thinking that the "killing the babies" rhetoric might be flawed. Because that is what we fight... them calling fetuses babies. It is the thing that has gotten them the most support. And this young girl then thought that we, the escorts were going to grab and kill her little brother. She was terrified.
ReplyDeleteThis man just took over my childrens daycare here in TX! This man was verbally abusive to the girls the worked at the daycare, He was verbally abusive to the parents in front of the children!! This man has to be stopped! We need everyones help to makesure this man can not run a daycare!
DeletePlease do not send your kids to Asher Academy. This man is very abusive to his own children. He is abusive to people. If you want your life destroyed don't ever go to Jesus life center church or send your kids there. He has a criminal record against him and he lies about everything. Save yourself and your children.
ReplyDeleteI know bradley horner. Funny how he is against abortion but he is a con man.
ReplyDeleteHe purchased a truck and used his dads social security number amd his dad started getting collection letters and he finally had to go get the truck from brad and repo it. I was told His parents have had to take legal steps against brad on more than one occasion. He is suing a widow in her 70s to try an get out of paying back the money she loaned to purchase the church. She was in ministry 50 yrs and a minister named brad is suing her to get out of paying her. He is a liar and a con man. I have heard him threaten to whip his kids in public an it sounds pretty rough considering how young they were. Do not trust him he is worse than a devil he is a wolf in sheeps clothes. Call the DA in limestone county an they know him by mamw an said he is nothing but a con man .
He used his dads ssn to buy truck amd his dad had to repo it because brad wasnt paying for it . i was told his parents have had to use legal means on him several times. Now he is suing a ministers widow who was involved on ministry all her life. He doesnt want to pay her the money she loaned to purchase the church. He is trying to use a loop hole to cheat a widow out of something he said he would pay and now he said he won't. I will be posting a lot on brad in next few weeks i want him in jail for his abusive actions to trusting people
ReplyDeleteBrad Horner needs to be put away. He is very abusive and beats his kids. He makes people feel like dirt and that they have mental problems so he looks good. He abuses peoples minds plus children. He says he's a pastor but far from it. He tells people there going to hell. He lies and cheats people out of money. This man is very abusive and he needs to be put away. He demands people to kiss his feet and tells them big stories of what he will do for there lives and once he wheels you in he becomes abusive and doesn't pay up to what be promised. He is a liar and beats his kids plus puts people down to the point they have no self esteem. Very controlling sick man. Why doesn't someone do something to put this man away. Pastors and people out there wake up and have nothing to do with this lying man. He has a church in Georgetown TX and he stoled alot of money from the people there plus was abusive to all the workers at the daycare, then he closed the doors plus chased 70 some people away cause of his abuse. Is this what being a Christian is all about. Brad Horner is one sick SOB.
ReplyDeleteBrad Horner is a criminal. He is on the wanted list for writing bad checks and oweing alot of money that he refuses to pay. He is one sick abusive mind controlling person. He says he's a preacher well he is far from it. He abuses people. He just wants your money but he will abuse your mind. Stay away from him.
ReplyDeleteI know Pastor Horner. You folks arguing against him are truly on the wrong side of morality. He is letting his daughter know that there is right and wrong and that abortion is wrong. As parents, especially Christian parents, we have an obligation to teach right from wrong. Maybe you don't do it but we do because we want Godly, moral children in a world where there are no morals.
