Obama Adm. Targets Pro-life Activists as Terrorists
New American ^ | october 25, 2010 | William F. Jasper

The Obama administration has aligned the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) and the FBI with militant abortion advocates in a concerted effort to target peaceful pro-life activists as terrorists and to characterize their lawful, free-speech activities as “violence.” At least, say pro-life leaders, that is the reasonable conclusion they draw from a training program sponsored jointly by the DOJ, FBI, Planned Parenthood, and other pro-abortion groups this past August in Portland, Oregon.

“On August 25, 2010, the FBI and the United States Department of Justice co-sponsored a training seminar with Planned Parenthood, the National Abortion Federation and the Feminist Majority Foundation,” Steven Ertelt of Lifesitenews.com reported on September 30.

A pro-life attorney and several pro-life activists were able to attend the program, which took place at the FBI’s Portland headquarters. They obtained a copy of the 84-page document entitled “Resource Guide: Violence Against Reproductive Health Care Providers" that the DOJ/FBI seminar leaders provided to participants. The “Resource Guide” and the training seminar illustrate the growing network of ties among federal government agencies and the major organizations promoting and providing abortion services. The publication and the seminar also present a disturbing picture of the federal government aligning with pro-abortion militants to prosecute and silence their political opponents.

Matthew S. Bowman, legal counsel for the Alliance Defense Fund, a pro-life/pro-family organization, told The New American he finds this “extremely disturbing” in that it indicates the FBI and DOJ are working hand-in-hand with the pro-abortion lobby to squash the constitutionally guaranteed right to peaceful political dissent. In a critique of the “Resource Guide,” Bowman writes:

The analyses urging the prosecution of “clinic violence” defines a large swath of nonviolent, legal, free-speech activity such as picketing under the broad category of “violence.” Abortionist organizations have long lobbied to use the law to silence free speech activities. But in this seminar the FBI and USDOJ included those views in their own training seminar materials. This raises serious concerns about the United States government investigating peaceful, legal free speech activity in efforts that are ostensibly aimed at violence.

The last abortion clinic bombing I know of was by E. R. Rudolph (some years prior to his Atlanta Olympic Park bombing in 1996). But note that the tens of thousands of man-hours spent in North Carolina by Reno looming for Rudolph prevented the FBI from investigating or even considering at the Muslims planning 9-11 attacks in the years before the September attacks.

Then last year, we had one abortionist killed during a service at his “church” - a deplorable and regrettable act by one man.

So, ... since 1996, how many muslim (tens of) thousands of bombs have gone off killing how many (tens of thousand) innocents? How many thousands Muslim rockets have been fired randomly into Israeli cities targetted at innocents?

But Obama claims Christians are “terrorists” but refused to use the word against his international Muslim supporters/soul mates/allies.

I don’t know about anyone else but I’m getting pretty damn sick and tired of being attacked by our own government. And who are the freaks that are going along (rhetorical)...nothing but a bunch of rabid pro death losers. They all have blood on their hands and although I have plenty to answer for to my Creator, I do hope I can witness their judgement.

The Obama administration (Napolitano & crew) have ignored apprehending true terrorists who can literally walk across the US/Mexico border unchallenged in favor of focusing on their perceived political enemies. Say, isn’t that the definition of insanity?

Clinton had a real burr under his Lewinsky saddle for pro-lifers. The feebs visited a few of us, to put a chill on opposing the federal oligarchy on abortion and embryonic stem cell exploitation. I have a strong feeling that if the scumdemocrats retain power after Nov 2nd, the bastard in the Oval Office will be far more active than sinkEmperor ever thought of being, trying to silence opposition to the oligarchy.

In 0bama’s world, pro-life activists are terrorists and al-Quaida deserves a victory mosque and “community center” at Ground Zero.

Historically speaking, when there's no more recourse to law, all that remains is recourse to lawlessness.

Or submission or death.

Thanks khnyny.

Only a terrorist would categorize a pro-life activist as a terrorist.
