Crush of the Week: Dr. Warren Hern

Warren Hern, director of the Boulder Abortion Clinic in Colorado, took out a full page ad in a local paper yesterday denouncing Operation Save America (formerly Operation Rescue). The anti-choice group had protested against Hern in his neighborhood during a week-long convention they held in Denver recently.
The ad displays an Operation Save America flyer followed by Hern’s comments: “The purpose of the flyer is to cause hate and fear. Its purpose is to get someone to kill me.” The ad also calls the group a “fascist” organization.
The content of the Operation Save America flyer is unavailable, but from what I can gather, it was specifically targeting Hern and his clinic:
“It’s bad enough that they harassed women in my clinic…But this group can’t leave anyone alone. The flyer they passed out is a very personal attack…This is a terrorist operation. This means that they would stop at nothing. Who will be next? When they get through with the abortion doctors, Operation Save America has a long list of people that they hate.”
Hern called out this violent anti-choice group for what it really is, and for that he is my crush of the week.
