Activities Urge Attorney General To Call Attack On Planned Parenthood Clinic An Act Of Terror


By Jenna McLaughlin, Dec 02, 2015 The Intercept

When men attack women’s health clinics, the Department of Justice should call it domestic terrorism and treat it that way, a coalition of activists said Wednesday.

The group, led by NARAL Pro-Choice America, UltraViolet and Courage Campaign, and CREDO Action, is calling on the Department of Justice and the Federal Bureau of Investigation to investigate crimes like last Friday’s murderous rampage at a Colorado Springs Planned Parenthood clinic as acts of domestic terrorism rather than ordinary violent crimes.

“Clearly these attacks [against Planned Parenthood] meet the definition of domestic terrorism. This is not a random shooting … and it must be called out as such,” said Ilyse Hogue, president of NARAL Pro-Choice America, on a press teleconference on Wednesday.

The FBI defines “domestic terrorism” as “activities … [that] involve acts dangerous to human life that violate federal or state law … appear intended to (i) intimidate or coerce a civilian population, (ii) to influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion; or (iii) to affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction, assassination, or kidnapping.”
