It wasn’t about skin color. It’s about religion. He might not be a Muslim, but his name suggests he likely is. It’s usually Christians who are doing this shit.
Isn’t it irrelevent which religion they use as a lame excuse to excert control over other people? Their primary trait is that they cannot allow other people to live their lives like they do, anything else is secondary.
Without knowing the dude and assuming upbringing, think about their stereotypical culture. Abortion and I assume contraception isn’t exactly encouraged. Maybe I am an ignorant fuck about non-western cultures. Still upsets me that anyone threatens them at all.
All I do know is I appreciate the hell out of that organization and was the only way I could afford healthcare for a long time. I try to go to them no matter what so they get money and I can continue to see the people I always have.
The stories that women shared with me in the waiting room are absolutely heartbreaking. Such as men sabotaging their birth control. They have to sneak on a bus while he is at work, with their kids in tow, to get the depo shot. That is one of the tame stories.
Fucking POS protesters were around where the parade was for Pride a couple weeks ago. I always flip off any protesters for PP. Childish? Yes. Will that stop me? Absolutely not.
I believe abortion is only permitted if the mother’s life is in danger in Islam, but this is the first time I’ve heard of someone who sounds like they might be a Muslim threatening a Planned Parenthood in the U.S.
Hmm. Hard to say. I admit I was bad and didn’t read the article until now. He threatened them over the phone, which is a hell of a lot easier than in person. I think the point of the article is to show that someone was actually punished for it and I wouldn’t be surprised if it was racial bias that resulted him getting punished over some white nutjob.
How diverse is Indiana? I spent a few months in Fort Wayne and it was very very white. Ohio is a weird one though I have spent a lot of time there too. New York is pretty diverse. I think the other person was right though that the news skews what is reported on.
Sad part is how much PP has had to increase security over the last 10-15 years. No more walking through the front door. They keep the doors locked and have to buzz you in. Wouldn’t be surprised if some locations have security guards and more protection for their employees and patients.
