Instead of a White Trumper what if this had been a Muslim or any person of color?

That said, anyone organization that comes to this guys aid including paying for an attorney needs to be attacked as supporting domestic terrorism which is what this is.

You can kill more women with a pen than a couple of buckets of gasoline:

The Columbia clinic, which reopened Feb. 18, does not currently provide
abortions. U.S. Western District Court Judge Brian Wimes ruled Feb. 22 that state
restrictions on abortion were not “undue” burdens on women seeking
abortions in Missouri. Regulations that took effect last year require
doctors that perform abortions to have admitting physician privileges at
nearby hospitals. The Columbia clinic has not been able to finding a
doctor with such privileges since the University of Missouri Hospital in
Columbia stopped offering the privileges in 2015.

(Isn’t that precisely the subject where the supremes just ruled the other way?)

This has been an on going battle. St. Louis is the only clinic in MO that performs abortions. The Columbia clinic for awhile was only performing medical abortions and the legislature still said that they needed admitting privileges.

Is it just me, or are all those rabid anti-abortion types are either too old or too ugly for someone wanting to have sex with them.

Shouldn’t we check the tooth situation before cuing the banjos?

Looks are seldom a complete bar to finding someone who wants to have sex. Heck, even personality isn’t. The pro-dead-women types are just what the christianist madrassas produce.

I thought this quote got me in the banjo ballpark…

“Guns Don’t Kill People, Planned Parenthood Kills People.”

Wesley Brian Kaster was arrested Saturday after investigators searched his vehicle and found evidence linking him to the fire at the Planned Parenthood-Columbia Health Center.

Um, a red MAGA hat?

Right, and the only reason why hospitals won’t grant admitting privileges is because of the politics involved. The legislatures know this, and that’s why they pass the restrictions. It’s a Catch-22 for women’s healthcare clinics.

If like most “pro-life” bible-thumpers, he probably was a repeat purchaser of certain Planned Parenthood services…

I’d charge him with domestic terrorism.

It’s a little more insidious and complex than that, although in some places, yes, the politics have specifically won out:

Most hospitals only grant admitting privileges to Providers who can meet a minimum threshold of admissions annually (I’ve seen 50 referenced as a fairly standard one). Since abortions so very rarely end up needing hospitalization, those Providers are highly unlikely to ever meet the threshold required by the hospital, thus can’t get or maintain admitting privileges…

Right wing terrorism is way up since January, 2017. I wonder why (sarc)

Can Obama do us all a favor?

Just go make a speech that abortion is horrific and should be banned, immediately and all across America.

Texas would build an abortion center in every village within a week, and McConnell would introduce a new Constitutional Amendment enshrining the right to abortion inside of a day.

Not sure but the red shirt with the Coat of arms of Germany on it may be some sort of symbolism or identity politics.

He doesn’t look like a clean cut christian man. I’m guessing he’s more just an arsonist type looking for some excuse to burn or blow something up.
