“Choice”
Freedom of choice provides women the opportunity to decide what is right based upon their own ethical, moral and religious beliefs. I’ve read that it shouldn’t be called pro-choice and pro-life, but “pro-choice” and “no-choice,” because that is what anti-abortionists are aiming to achieve.
Policing the anti-abortion terrorist movement is a federalized law enforcement responsibility. After Dr. David Gunn was gunned down in Pensacola, Florida, Congress passed a law that made it a federal crime to use force to intimidate or to physically obstruct individuals from entering reproductive health care clinics.
Six murders later, Clinton’s Justice Department established a national task force on violence against health care providers. That task force was supposed to reinvigorate federal involvement in the fight against violent extremist. Our federal government began training local law enforcement, coordinating investigations and prosecuting anti-abortion violence.
The Justice Department task force was expected to focus on connections that may exist between individuals involved in criminal anti-abortion activities. It serve as a clearinghouse to collect information relating to acts of violence against abortion providers, and coordinate data identifying national trends related to clinic violence. That includes data like attempting to glue-shut the doors of abortion clinics, threats of violence on anti-abortion web sites, publishing articles in newsletters, that argue killing doctors who perform abortions is justifiable homicide.
The task force was aware that Dr. George Tiller’s alleged killer Scott Roeder had served 16 months in prison for carrying explosives, but they were unable to prevent Tiller from being assassinated.
Apparently, the only difference between the American anti-abortion movement and the Taliban is about 8,000 miles.

Thanks for all your articles, especially this last one on "choice". You have said it so well. Women appreciate the fact that we can decide for ourselves what to do. Thank you. Hope to see you soon.
