Let me add something to the April 25 letter “Stalkings tend to turn to violence” (page 4). We have within the borders of the United States the anti-abortionists, a religious cult who feel they have a divine mandate to stalk, harass and intimidate doctors and patients. I was going to write about the fundamentalist propensity to stalk their opponents, but anti-abortionists are up to their old tricks.
Last week, a bomb was found outside an Austin, TX, abortion clinic. Do these abortion foes also have a divine mandate to bomb clinics?
Remember in the ’80s and ’90s all the bombings and firebombings of clinics done by these homegrown terrorists? Did the police ever arrest the criminals responsible or are they still lurking in the shadows?
