Dave Leach's comments to an inmate have been condemned by anti-abortion group.

DES MOINES, Iowa -- An anti-abortion activist's public statement that "it will be a blessing to the babies" if someone shoots the people who recently reopened a Kansas abortion clinic are being denounced as immoral and damaging to the cause.

Dave Leach posted the comments this month on YouTube. His posting includes a recorded phone conversation he had with another man Leach identifies as Scott Roeder, who is serving a life prison sentence for the 2009 shooting death of the Wichita clinic's then-owner, Dr. George Tiller.

Leach has previously suggested that other men were justified in killing other abortion providers. He notes in the video that Tiller's old clinic was recently reopened by a new abortion agency.

"If someone would shoot the new abortionists, like Scott shot George Tiller, … hardly anyone will appreciate it but the babies," he says. "It will be a blessing to the babies. Everyone else will panic. Of all places to open up a killing office, to reopen the one office in the United States more notorious for decades than any other is an act of defiance against God and the last remaining reverence for human life."
