Hmmmm....not fun living in fear is it? Makes them feel almost like a fetus being aborted. Almost, but not quite.

I'll cry them a river.

Um, do you not think that the police, CDC and others have enough to do trying to identify and neutralise terrorist threats at the moment without having to investigate this?It's not like there's a shortage of other methods of expressing disgust at abortion clinics that *wouldn't* impede the war effort.

I'll bet one of the abortion providers mailed them out in order to get some publicity. It's kinda hard being for death and liberal causes these days what with all the flag-waving and 90% approval ratings for President Bush.

That said, I'm against abortion, but think that the Army of God is a militant, nutty organization that allows the left to demonize sincere pro-life people. I have associates and friends who volunteer for anti-abortion groups and protests that agree with me regarding the radicals who believe in murdering abortion doctors, putting every woman who has ever had an abortion on trial for murder, (no forgiveness, education, etc.) and bombing clinics. It's counter-productive, IMHO, just as the events of 9/11 have not made me or most Americans sympathetic towards the Palestinians or blackmailed me into giving in to the militant Muslim world's hate-filled demands. I still don't believe that the Army of God is responsible for this mailing. It sounds like a desperate publicity stunt. I'll bet that the powder turns out to be plain baby powder.

I was flamed a few weeks ago for expressing an opinion like yours and accused of approving of terrorism. I will never condone violence or terrorism against abortionists. Whomever is threatening the clinics should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, and I hope they are (personally I think some of it is PP itself, trying to gin up sympathy). But at the same time, just as I didn't feel A SINGLE SHRED of pity for Jeffrey Dahmer when he got beaten to death in prison, I don't shed a tear if a butcher who has murdered THOUSANDS of children gets a deathly scare, which is all this has turned out to be, so far. Terror against the baby butchers is deplorable, and it really does give the pro-life movement a black eye. The flamers don't seem to understand that this is not a public policy statement, but an expression of visceral gut feeling.

By the way, just to make myself clear, CUT IT OUT, ARMY OF GOD!!
