Everyday Christian terrorists
Quote:A man used rocks to smash 14 windows at the facility in Spokane Valley on Saturday afternoon, causing $25,000 worth of damage, before being arrested on site. Paul Dillon, a spokesman for Planned Parenthood, said he doesn't believe it was a random act because a responding officer heard the suspect call the group "baby killers."
In addition, a judge recently ordered members of the so-called Church at Planned Parenthood to move their protests 35 feet away from the clinic.
The Church at Planned Parenthood describes itself as "a worship service at the gates of Hell," according to its website. "The Church at Planned Parenthood is a gathering of Christians for the worship of God and the corporate prayer for repentance for this nation, repentance for the apathetic church and repentance of our blood guiltiness in this abortion holocaust."
The effort is being led in part by Pastor Ken Peters, the leader of the pro-Trump Patriot Church Network.
The same Planned Parenthood clinic was the site of a bomb attack by white supremacists in 1996.
According to the National Abortion Federation, anti-abortion violence more than doubled in 2017 and reached an all-time high in 2019 — the most recent year for which it has released statistics. Back in March, the New Yorker explored links between anti-abortion extremism, the QAnon conspiracy theory, and the Jan. 6 Capitol insurrection.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
