Using capslock to illustrate your point generally isn't going to, well, work. No offense, you know, but I don't want to get yelled at for having a contrasting opinion.
This man is as bad as the rapist.
I feel that you're trying to qualify two incidents that should not and cannot be qualified (or quantified, if looking at your comment on magnitude). Rape is an act which occurs in the absence of morals, and I don't believe that to be the case with Gene Herr; quite the opposite, in fact, with more complex issues at stake. Whether you view his actions to be criminal is your opinion, obviously, be at least let it stand on its own.
By the way, as far as comparisons go, it is my opinion that murder is a worse crime than rape, but I realize that not many people here agree that abortion is murder, and arguing about that won't get us anywhere.
