“Domestic terrorist are at it again, flying under the radar as they renew their campaign of intimidation at women’s clinics that offer abortions. While violence against such clinics has declined since the madness of the 1980s, this marks the first use of an explosive device, an IED no less, since the recent Supreme Court decision.” From Daily Kos
“An explosive device was found Wednesday in the parking lot of an Austin, Texas, women’s clinic that provides abortions. After inspecting the device, the Austin Police Department said in a statement: ‘It was determined that the package … would have caused serious bodily injury and/or death had it functioned.’ Luckily, the bomb didn’t function and was disarmed by a robot, reports the Associated Press.
“Some argue this is a sign that antiabortion forces have been bolstered by the Supreme Court’s recent decision to uphold a federal abortion ban. ‘The extremists in the anti-abortion movement have been emboldened by the latest Supreme Court decision,’ said Katherine Spillar, executive vice president of the Feminist Majority Foundation. ‘These domestic terrorists will continue to attack women’s health clinics across the country until their financial and support networks are closed down.’”
