Ed Tostanoski: PPC shooter a terrorist
What is the difference between a religious fanatic who straps on a suicide vest, loads his AK-47 and attacks a Paris nightclub and the religious fanatic who arms himself and attacks a Planned Parenthood Clinic?
The lack of American outrage at the PPC attack. There is no justification for either of these attacks.
No one said after the Paris attacks, “Well, these were young people, possibly using drugs, listening to heavy music, so their murder could be excused.” However, Planned Parenthood Clinics have been attacked before, their service providers have been murdered before, their facilities have been bombed before and still some people are saying it is justified.
These people must be labeled as terrorists. The organizations that support them and foment their anger must be labeled as terrorist organizations. These terrorist organizations should be scrutinized, investigated and monitored by Homeland Security.
If presidential candidates demand that overseas religious fanatics overseas must be “eliminated,” then what about these home-grown terrorists?
Effective governmental measures must be put into place to protect climics and the reproductive rights of women they support.
No religious fanatics have the right to impose their views on women.
