"...there has NEVER been any report that authorites fear that the anti-abortion groups had the means or knowledge to use antrhax."

You are wrong.

February 25, 1999

"(New York, NY) At the request of attorneys for Planned Parenthood and other abortion providers, federal district judge Robert E. Jones issued a permanent injunction today enjoining and restraining the American Coalition of Life Activists, Advocates for Life Ministries and 12 individual defendants...

Today's injunction follows the February 2nd jury assessment of $107 million in damages against the defendants for illegal threats against the plaintiffs.

In his order, Judge Jones described the Wanted Posters and Nuremberg Files Web site, each as a "true threat to bodily harm, assault or kill one or more of the defendants." Judge Jones then went further, stating that from his own independent review of the evidence produced at trial, "the plaintiffs have proven by clear and convincing evidence" that each defendant acted "with specific intent and malice in a blatant and illegal communication of true threats to kill assault to do bodily harm to each of the plaintiffs and with the specific intent to interfere with or intimidate the plaintiffs from engaging in legal practices and procedures."

Wrote Judge Jones, "I totally reject the defendants' attempts to justify their actions as an expression of opinion or as a legitimate and lawful exercise of free speech in order to dissuade the plaintiffs from engaging in providing abortion services."

...The injunction from U.S. District Court in Oregon came in the wake of a rash of anthrax threats sent by mail to abortion providers and other organizations all over the country. "These anthrax letters, like the Wanted Posters and the Web site, pose a real threat to the peaceful functioning of our public democratic institutions," said Feldt. "These folks think that violence is the light and the way. It is time for everyone to stand together against anti-choice terrorism."

Since you seem to be pro-PP, do you really believe it was a good policy that they were forcing their clinics on Muslim countries? Do you think they might have had much to do with pushing so-called moderate Muslim clerics into more anti-American positions? Look at the tactics pulled at the Cairo Conference-----the Planned Parenthood tried to run Muslim clerics and the Vatican out so they could have no opposition at all. I think some of you had better start looking very hard at your genocide practices and what it's done to the image of the US throughout the world.

In case you hadn't noticed, the Nuremberg Files judgment was thrown out by the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals panel as an infringement on free speech. The full court has agreed to take up the case, but has not done so yet. The Nuremberg Files website advocates bringing abortionists to justice in a court of law.

As far as anthrax threats against abortion mills is concerned, until a perp is convicted, there is no way to know who is behind it, just as there is no way to know whether suspicious fires at abortion mills were done by right wing fanatics, distraught fathers whose babies were slaughtered inside, or by unscrupulous abortionists for the insurance money.

I AM RIGHT. YOU ARE WRONG. I said that authorities have NEVER said that anti-abortion groups have attempted to or threatend to us ANTHAX...PERIOD...PAY ATTENTION.

This is a great time to turn back the tide of baby murder.
They're no better than the terrorist. The object is to kill as many Americans as possible.
The pain the infant must feel when it's being torn alive into pieces!!!!

pose a real threat to the peaceful functioning of our public democratic institutions,"

Since when is an abortion clinic a democratic institution?

[I'm ALL Right!]

I'm going to believe a Press Release from the Planned Parenthood site? It takes too much time and money to develop Anthrax as a weapon. I don't condone these groups but common sense says no...

[Slyfox]

It is a known fact that abortion clinics call in their own bomb scares and set their own clinics on fire. I got that personally from an ATF agent. What would stop an abortion clinic from sending itself an anthrax letter?
