Lessons from US on anti-abortion attacks

By MARK RILEY
NEW YORK CORRESPONDENT
NEW YORK
Tuesday 17 July 2001

A continuing wave of anti-abortion terrorism in the United States has forced clinics to employ security measures befitting military installations.

It has also spawned a push for special laws that would strip abortion clinic protesters of the freedom of speech protections that allow them to campaign outside the clinics.

Seven people have been killed and more than a dozen injured in attacks by right-to-life terrorists in a series of shootings and bombings during the past seven years.

Last month, the Bush Administration struck a deal with the French courts to extradite the second-most-wanted abortion clinic terrorist in the country, James Charles Kopp.

Kopp, who is known by fellow radicals as "Atomic Dog", is the chief suspect in the 1998 murder of New York abortion clinic doctor Bernard Slepian.

Dr Slepian, a 52-year-old father of four, was shot through the head as he stood in the kitchen of his house. The bullet was fired through the kitchen window from an adjoining yard.




The French courts only agreed to extradite Kopp after the US Government promised he would not face the death penalty. French law does not support capital punishment.

America's most-wanted abortion clinic murderer is also the man charged in absentia with the Olympic Park bombing at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, Eric Rudolph.

Rudolph has avoided apprehension by hiding in the hills of Virginia for the past two years.

He is wanted for the 1998 bombing of an abortion clinic in Birmingham, Alabama, that killed an off-duty policeman and critically injured a nurse. He is also the chief suspect in two bomb blasts, an hour apart, at an Atlanta abortion clinic the previous year. Seven people were injured in those attacks.

Much of the continuing violence against abortion clinic workers is orchestrated by a radical right-to-life group called the Army of God.

The group operates a website that lists all the abortion providers in America and Canada on a page titled "Baby Butchers".

The group's most active member is Clayton Waagner, who escaped from an Illinois jail in February and is suspected of masterminding several abortion clinic attacks since.

The greatest number of abortion clinic attacks in the past 20years have occurred in California, where state legislators are presently considering a bill to grant added protection to abortion providers.

The proposed law would effectively override the freedom of speech rights of right-to-life radicals who campaign outside the clinics and abuse staff and patients as they go in and out.


Proud to be an American Against Terrorism & Its Propaganda
