Lady Who Tried To Bomb Abortion Clinic Cant Believe Anyone Would Call Her A Terrorist

Oh the hypocrisy of it all


Lady Who Tried To Bomb Abortion Clinic Can’t Believe Anyone Would Call Her A Terrorist

Cheryl Sullenger, the senior Vice-President of the anti-choice group Operation Rescue is very, very hurt and upset. What hurt her feelings, you ask? Well! Abortion provider Warren Hern took out a full page ad in the Denver Post in which he had the utter gall to refer to some people in the “pro-life” movement as terrorists. In the letter, addressed to girl genius Marsha Blackburn, who is currently “investigating” Hern to make sure he’s not selling any fetal tissue — a thing no one is actually doing outside of the fevered imaginations of anti-choice activists — Hern says,
You and your Republican Party are vigorously allied with a violent terrorist movement that threatens the lives of women, their families and healthcare workers. As part of this sham “investigation,” your letter to me and letters to other physicians constitute a program of target identification for anti-abortion assassins. You can deny this, but it is a fact.
Your “investigation” is legislative harassment that endangers our lives. The blood of any of us who are assassinated is on your hands.

Sullenger could hardly believe that Hern would use such language to describe her and her compatriots!
“Hern’s warped perception of the work of a peaceful pro-life movement that sacrifices to aid pregnant women and provide loving alternatives to abortion – acts that he considers ‘terrorism’ — reveals how much Hern is deceived by his own fears and prejudices.
Hern’s hateful missive is typical of “liberal-speak.” Anyone who disagrees with the Left is hated, disrespected, castigated, bullied, and demonized.


Now, she would have a point, perhaps… if she were not actually a terrorist herself. You see, in 1987, Sullenger was involved in a failed plot to bomb an abortion clinic, for which she was sentenced to three years in prison. The only reason the gasoline bomb didn’t go off and hurt anyone is because its fuse was blown out by the wind. So, she’s literally an attempted terrorist who is quite indignant about someone classifying her as a terrorist. We aren’t sure how exactly the firebomb would be classified as a loving alternative to abortion, as fire and bombs both tend to be rather harsh.

Following her stint in prison, Sullenger aided Scott Roeder in stalking abortion provider George Tiller, providing him information on Tiller’s whereabouts and court dates. Roeder then used that information to murder Dr. Tiller. Operation Rescue also operated a site called “Tiller Watch,” where they published Dr. Tiller’s home address — presumably not so people could send him Christmas cards. They also regularly attempt to stalk and harass employees of abortion clinics into quitting their jobs. Lovingly.

hey, cheryl, you fucking, hypocritical TERRORIST, was it LOVE when I was getting death threats when I was working for women's reproductive rights? was it LOVE when I was assaulted at a roe v wade rally, and the cops did nothing? is it LOVE when other clinic escorts and I get threats and actual physical assaults escorting women (and some men) into clinics for LEGAL medical procedures and health care?

and was it LOVE black friday a year ago, when robert dear murdered three people and injured many others in an hours-long standoff at a planned parenthood in colorado springs?

FUCK YOU, and all the sanctimonious, self-righteous, bible-thumping, woman-hating assholes who think they have a right to tell us what we can do with our bodies.

remember this: EVERY anti-choice argument has, at its heart, a profound hatred for women, because EVERY SINGLE argument, whether based on religion, or whatever, says that some THING, or some ONE, whether the zygote, the sperm donor, the church or the state, is more important than women.

Firebombing those you don't like or don't agree with (or even a failed attempt at firebombing) is the very definition of terrorism. Sullenger's denial of the facts doesn't change them. Delusional doesn't even begin to describe this woman.

They claim to be pro life but they see no issue in shooting doctors, nurses, etc.
