DOJ Needs to Investigate Arsons at Abortion Clinics as Domestic Terrorism, Thousands of NARAL Pro-Choice America Members Demand


Washington, DC–(ENEWSPF)–October 15, 2015.  NARAL Pro-Choice America today released a newly launched petition to demand that the Department of Justice direct the FBI to investigate recent arson attacks on Planned Parenthood clinics as what they are: acts of domestic terrorism. In fewer than 20 hours, the petition has already garnered over 23,000 signatures. As part of the campaign, NARAL Pro-Choice America is also releasing a video that shows the decades of violence perpetrated against women’s health care providers that continues to today—exactly the kind of terrorist activity to which supporters are now petitioning the DOJ to respond.

Full text of the petition below and here: http://nar.al/48q

Recent arson attacks on Planned Parenthood clinics came after the highly publicized release of heavily edited videos by a sham organization run by extremists who will stop at nothing to deny women legal abortion services. 

These attacks on clinics are part of a long history of ideologically-driven violence. They’re perpetrated by an extreme minority that’s committed to ruling through fear and intimidation. 

Let’s call this what it is—domestic terrorism. We can’t wait until one more patient, doctor or nurse is hurt or killed before we say enough is enough. It’s time for an investigation to get to the bottom of this. 

Add your name to tell the Department of Justice to direct the FBI to investigate these attacks as domestic terrorism.
