I just read this article in the Washington Post:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/education/charter-school-next-to-future-planned-parenthood-clinic-sues-anti-abortion-protesters/2015/12/09/63a2109a-9dfc-11e5-a3c5-c77f2cc5a43c_story.html

Planned Parenthood is opening a facility in DC that happens to be next door and across the street from buildings of a charter school. Protesters have been harassing school children. But, this is what caught my attention in the article:

"The protesters named in the lawsuit include a Maryland resident who served a prison sentence for plotting to bomb an abortion clinic and several activists connected to anti-abortion groups."

So, there is a convicted terrorist active in the District of Columbia. This terrorist has already been harassing children -- some as young as 3 years old. There have been written threats.

I assume that the Trump supporters will advocate banning all pro-life individuals from entering the District of Columbia, but I think that would be a bit extreme. But, now that we know there is a convicted terrorist engaged in threatening behavior, what do we do?


Jeff, I think PLanned Parenthood has been located next to School Without Walls for about 20 years. Did they move out to renovate or something? This is not a " new neighbor"

Oh, please don't call it Christian terrorism. I'm a Christian (Episcopalian) and my rector accompanied me to the (unnamed DC hospital) where I had my "medical termination" due to an anencephalic fetus. When I was a member of another mainline Protestant church, as a teenager, I met an elder from my church at Planned Parenthood, where he prescribed birth control to my friends and I. So....please...this is right wing fanaticism. It has NOTHING to do with Christianity. Kind of like Islam and the jihadists, you know?

I was being facetious, trying to make a parallel pointing out the unfairness of the demand that the President use the term "Islamic terrorism". I figured that the idea of banning Christians from entering DC was outlandish enough to tip off my sarcasm.

I am also hoping the FBI is tracking these individuals in the same way they are hopefully tracking other domestic and international terrorists here.

What these protesters are doing is disgusting but I also have to wonder why on earth Planned Parenthood selected a site right next to an elementary school for an abortion clinic. Protests take place everyday at their clinics all over the country. Why would they assume this location would be any different?

I just read the article which now names Robert Weller of Maryland as the defendant convicted of plotting to bomb a clinic.

My bet is that this person is probably already on the FBI’s radar.

Shouldn't a bunch of Oath Keepers show up with AR-15's to provide security?

Citizen of the country? Due process. Unless you want him tossed in jail? Behavior is gross, but I assume no crime.

Not a citizen and not here legally? Buy-bye

we push this to its logical extreme - it's a win win. You harass a terrorist to the fullest extent of the law AND you point out hypocrisy. Win win!
