The directors of Planned Parenthood, the National Abortion Federation and the Feminist Majority on Thursday asked for a meeting with Atty. Gen. John Ashcroft and Homeland Security Director Thomas J. Ridge.

I see no reason needed for a meeting.

Charming.

gotta wonder about these god squads

which come less than a month after more than 250 similar letters were sent to abortion clinics through the U.S postal system.

I missed this one. Was it publicized at all?

Yep news comes out that the anthrax mailings may come from a Ted Kaczynski(i.e leftist, pro-abortion, anti-human) wannabe, and all of the sudden packages from FedEx(i.e overnight deliveries) show up at abortion clinics.

Planned Parenthood probably sent them out themselves to muddy the waters, IMHO.

Please delete. Already posted here but did not come up in Search prior to posting.

Desperate for attention, sympathy, and more federal funding (for security!)...I better shut up before I become a suspect.

[Blackyce]

"Anthrax Threats Mass Mailed to Abortion Clinics" Kind of redundant aint it... You know the really ironic thing is, less people probably died today because of Anthrax.

Watch for this theory to come out shortly by the FBI: In an effort to "save face", they will claim ERIC RUDOLPH did it. And the reason the writing slants downhill is because he is still hiding on the side of a mountain in North Carolina.

Is the "Army of God" an underground organization with no known members, address, or web site? I assume so, otherwise it would be insane for them to openly take responsibility for illegal acts. But I still think it needs to be proven that they are in fact responsible; I would not put at past PP to send these threats to themselves.

The Army of God has a website and a mailing address in care of "Rev. Donald Spitz" in Chesapeake, VA. All of the anti-abortion zealots who assert that "abortion is murder" give aid and comfort to abortion clinic attackers.

How does one spell "Reichstag"?

It's ludicrous this reporter and her editor wouldn't mention at least the possibility, that enemies of pro-life groups would be sending this stuff through the mail.

[FITZ]

I think they're going to make being pro-life a "hate crime". I doubt very much anyone other than Planned Parenthood themselves mailed these so-called threats to the clinics. They are the biggest liars of all.

[hocndoc]

Last month's mailings also went to at least one pregnancy crisis center (definitely not an abortion clinic). However, no mention of this fact in this article.

There's also no mention of attacks on abortion clinics by abortion supporters, such as Frank Mendiola, which are done in order to get sympathy for the pro-abortion cause.

[Steve_Seattle]

Wow - a story about anthrax threats has morphed into a debate about abortion.

[Terrorista Nada]

I guess some people really do get upset about the murder of 35 million babies in America.

The packages, sent overnight from drop boxes in Virginia and Philadelphia, mark the second mass mailing signed by the Army of God, a group of antiabortion extremists who have claimed responsibility for killing doctors who perform abortions and for bombing clinics.

I don't participate in this violence, but it is my right not to object. In fact, I cheer it on!

[Concentrate]

It would be terrible if everyone sent a package of talc to all the abortion clinics at once, wouldn't it? In fact, the postal service is so non-discrimantory, that all of the pieces would be delivered, as we have so recently discovered. Sends a shudder down my spine.
