David Vitter - Interview with Wendy Ellis, October 13, 2015 (video/story at link)

Could this finally be the end of Vitter's career?
I was stunned when he received a standing ovation upon his return to the Senate, but this could be the end.

Abortion Rights Group Says Clinic Vandalism Should Be Investigated As Domestic Terrorism (petition)

Here's a link to the petition, if you'd like to 'cut to the chase'.

And here's the article-
http://thinkprogress.org/health/2015/10/17/3713499/abortion-clinic-vandalism-naral/

Over the past several months, as the national conversation about abortion has been dominated by accusations that Planned Parenthood is selling “aborted baby parts,” thanks to a series of videos released by anti-choice activists, clinic employees have become concerned that the heated rhetoric is translating into action.

Health centers in California, Washington, Louisiana, and Illinois have all been subject to acts of vandalism over the past three months. The clinics in California and Washington experienced very similar arson attempts. The Southern Poverty Law Center has been keeping its eye on the incidences, which the group describe as potential “terroristic attacks.”

“Where is the outrage?” NARAL head Ilyse Hogue said in a statement in response to the Media Matters report on Friday. “The media need to report these incidents as what they are: domestic terrorism. By staying silent or failing to discuss this new wave of attacks on health clinics in the context of anti-abortion extremism, the media is giving extremists the cover to regressively and violently attack women, their access to health care, and the medical professionals who provide it.”

Hogue noted that, just six years ago, Kansas abortion doctor Dr. George Tiller was gunned down in his church by anti-choice extremists “against a backdrop of tolerance for these radical views.”
