CACN, Winter, 1998<\/p>\n
Eric Rudolph bombed the New Woman All Women Clinic in Birmingham, Alabama at 0733 on January 29, 1998. Robert Sanderson, a 35-year-old off-duty police officer working as a security guard, was killed and Nurse Emily Lyons, 41, was seriously injured. <\/p>\n
\u201cProlife\u201d Response to Rudolph<\/p>\n
Texas Right to Life Committee, Inc. issued a \u201cStatement Concerning Alabama Abortion Clinic Violence\u201d as follows:<\/p>\n
Texas Right to Life strongly opposes any use of violence as a means of stopping the violence that has killed more than 36 million unborn children since 1973. <\/p>\n
We have always believed that one cannot morally do an evil act in order to obtain a good. Texas Right to Life has a policy of forbidding violence, or any illegal activity, by its staff, directors, officers, and affiliated local chapters. Texas Right to Life’s purpose is to protect human life.<\/p>\n
Dr. Joseph Graham, president of Texas Right to Life, in response to today’s clinic bombing, said, “I want to reaffirm the policy of rejecting violence as a means of dealing with the terrible problem of abortion . . . We, at Texas Right to Life, do not in any way approve the violent bombing of the abortion clinic in Birmingham, Alabama.” <\/p>\n
Similarly, the \u201cThe National Right to Life Committee\u201d issued a statement vilifying the abortuary bomber. <\/p>\n
An AP report said: <\/p>\n
\u201cThe nation’s largest pro-life organization \u2018unequivocally condemns any such acts of violence used by individuals regardless of their motivation,\u2019 said David N. O’Steen, executive director. \u2018No person who is truly pro-life could commit such an act of violence in the name of protecting unborn children.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
Tennessee Right To Life issued a statement condemning \u201cViolence At Birmingham Clinic.\u201d <\/p>\n
Brian Harris of TRTL said, “We speak out for life and insist that the way to achieve protection for unborn children is not through the taking of other lives. There is no justification for acts of deadly violence and most especially acts perpetrated in the name of a movement committed to justice and the protection of human life.”<\/p>\n
Moreover, said he AP report, Serrin Foster, executive director of Feminists for Life of America issued the following statement: “Feminists for Life is offering a reward for the arrest and conviction of the person or persons responsible for the bombing earlier today of the New Woman Health Care clinic in Birmingham, Alabama.” <\/p>\n
“The use of violence to oppose another form of violence — abortion \u2013 is not pro-life and undermines the entire movement. We will not defend anyone who clearly is not pro-life,” Foster stated. “We need to ferret out those who advocate violence by turning them into the police.” <\/p>\n
And this last piece of kowtowing asininity delivered by the AP says, \u201cMs. Foster extends her heartfelt condolences to the staff, family and friends of those who were killed and injured in the bombing. Dr. Bruce Lucaro, the former owner of the clinic, also advises FFL on abortion. \u2018He is devastated and so are we,\u2019 said Foster. Dr. Lucero, who is pro-choice, and Foster who is pro-life, have teamed up to address the root causes that contribute to abortion.\u201d <\/p>\n
How heart warming that abortion fans and opponents can get along so well in condemning those who appropriate the most effective (albeit unpopular) means of saving babies! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
