The Need To Rescue Women From Christian Terrorists
The anti-choice criminals should be locked up for a long time!
The reasons are best expressed by a Prodigy poster, Donna Jones who said:
I am a police office and witnessed first hand one of those "non-violent"
anti-abortion blockades. I was appalled by the amount of brutality used by those
people. They injured themselves and others with their fanatical procedures.
They began blocking doors to all the offices in this particular complex. They were
asked by several store owners to please allow their patrons in and they refused!
Who are they to decide a businessman's fate for the day?
We as the police then had to form a human block of our own to attempt to allow patrons
in to other businesses. They used their body weight in an attempt to crush us into
the wall and the poor people just trying to get to work or to another business.
A few officers were injured and also some protestors. An old women protestor was
knocked to the ground by her own people and trampled. The police had to assist her
for her own people refused. That is the point here, they are hurting so many for
their "own" ideals.
Before all this occurred I attempted to have a conversation with several of these
people and this was impossible. They were just ranting and raving, sometimes not
even making sense. They physically attacked, (pushing themselves on them ...) clients
of the abortion clinic acting like crazed psychopaths, not god fearing people.
Regardless of my personal opinion on abortion I was more appalled by these peoples
actions then I could ever be of the women entering the clinic. For the record this
particular clinic offers alternatives to abortion and makes clients sit and speak
with a counselor prior to any procedures."
Safe, legal, professional abortions should be equally available to all women as
a choice, regardless of income. Women should also be legally protected from the
monsters of such dangerous groups as those of Terry Randall and other misguided
zealots that act more like Hitler's than Americans. A women has the right to exercise
her freedom of religion and her reproductive health options with having misguided
emotional people yelling lies at them. That is far worse than abortion.
We should sent letters of praise to President Clinton for signing legislation that
should help rescue women from terrorists. It's about time.
The new law does protect the rights of peaceful protesters. But it does not confuse
free speech with harassment or violence.
For years, women tying to exercise their legal right to abortion have been bullied
by angry, screaming religious fanatics thinking they can impose their minority beliefs
on all women.
Since 1977 the National Abortion Federation has reported 37 bombings at clinics,
87 cases of Arson, 131 death threats, 91 assaults, two kidnappings, 567 acts of
vandalism, and the fatal shooting of Dr. Gunn.
At least now these anti-choice groups will be committing a federal crime that carry
the jail time and high fines that are appropriate for their anti-women, self proclaimed
righteous agendas.
Imposing their narrow views of what is right for all should not be tolerated in
any democratic nation. With polls showing 80% of Americans favoring current legal
status of abortion, these people have no place terrorizing the majority with their
false emotional attachments to a glob of DNA, first trimester fetus, which has no
brain and no soul, over the rights of the women to make her own reproductive decisions.
The Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act is the latest of a series of steps
Clinton has taken to expand women's reproductive choices, such as working to make
RU-486 a choice for U.S. women as it is in most of Europe and encouraging more abortion
choices in developing countries etc.
Women's rights have taken a huge leap forward from the dark ages and biblical times
where men simply controlled women's bodies and had total authority over them. Women
are now being heard and the message is clear they want to decide these issues for
themselves and clearly want choice and freedom from harassment when exercising their
choices.
