As you probably know, there was a bomb threat at the pro-choice rally on Saturday. This sort of thing hits close to my heart. Ten years ago, I was at Centennial Olympic Park when it was bombed by Eric Robert Rudolph, a Christian Identity member. Rudolph later said "the purpose of the attack on July 27 was to confound, anger and embarrass the Washington government in the eyes of the world for its abominable sanctioning of abortion on demand." Rudolph also bombed abortion clinics in Georgia and Alabama, as well as a gay night club before he was captured. Yesterday, five people were arrested for harassing St. James Episcopal Church, and a dude in a car played chicken with a line of church-defending pro-choice activists at the Unitarian-Universalist Church of Jackson (and was surprised when they defended themselves from a huge piece of metal coming at them.) Bomb threats, driving into protest lines: these aren't the actions of anti-abortion activists, or even fanatics: they're acts of domestic terrorism. |
