The Christian Right officially becomes Militant

[ck4829]

According to a recent Planned Parenthood news conference, anti-abortion leaders Randall Terry, the founder of Operation Rescue, and Matthew Trewhella, a top leader of Missionaries to the Preborn and a Defensive Action supporter, have joined forces with the far-right US Taxpayers Party (USTP).

Planned Parenthood released videotaped excerpts of Terry and Trewhella’s speeches to a USTP meeting held in Appleton, Wisc. last May. The footage had been obtained by clandestine anti-fascist researchers.

While one speaker urged conference participants to “arm their children,” another asserted that “abortionists should be put to death.” The USTP distributed a 100-page manual entitled “Principles Justifying the Arming and Organization of a Militia.” The USTP was founded in 1992 by “New Right” guru Howard Phillips. Early supporters of the organization have included Larry Pratt, president of Gun Owners of America, and Julie Makkima, director of the anti-abortion group Fortress International.

Meanwhile, fascists from five separate Ku Klux Klan groups demonstrated outside the Aware Woman Center for Choice on August 20 in Melbourne, Fla. The clinic, targeted by Operation Rescue National’s (ORN) 12-week long IMPACT team, a paramilitary “boot camp” for “Christian warriors,” in 1993, has been under siege for years.

According to J.D. Alder, Imperial Advisor to a Florida unit of the Klan, the group listed Rev. Hill (murderer) as “the hero of the month.” Alder added, “I put an abortionist in the same category as John Wayne Gacy.”

Ostensibly the Klan groups are gathering to protest the presence of US Marshals outside women’s clinics. “It’s big brother. It’s a government who tries to control people through fear and intimidation,” said “former” Klansman John Baumgardner.

However, their real agenda was revealed when Alder stated, “We consider abortion to be tantamount to racial suicide because it’s primarily white people killing their babies. I am selectively opposed to abortion. I don’t care if Blacks and Jews have abortions. It is white babies that are our primary concern.”

16. It is not race --- it is Fundamentalist Christianity

Regardless of what race somebody is....when they believe this stuff, they want to harm 'the infidels' who they define as anybody who does not agree.

4. I don't care if Blacks and Jews have abortions.

Now we have arrived at the truth of the matter. The decline and fall of the White Anglo Saxon Protestant.

Of course he left out Dagos and Spics.

I guess.

6. Yes, they've decided we need more Eric Rudolphs

As if people like him and the Army of God didn't blow up enough abortion clinics and kill doctors.

7. Sounds like terrorists to me

The homegrown type.

[CornField]

8. Nothing new about this

Back 1995 I had to be escorted by armed security guards through a parking lot, across a street and into a women's clinic that provided abortions. I'm not sure how killing me would have prevented an abortion, but I had no doubt they were willing to try.

11. Oh, they've been militant

don't let anyone tell you differently.

15. What's really scary

is this 'missionary to the pre-born' shit. Conjures up images of women being fitted with interuterine microphones for proselytizing the fetal tissue.
