Woman denies making 'true threat' against abortion doctor
WICHITA | A Kansas woman accused of sending a threatening letter to a doctor planning to do abortions in Wichita says she never intended to make a "true threat" of force.

Angel Dillard says in an affidavit filed Friday in federal court that she does not personally believe in acts of violence against anyone, including abortion providers.

An attorney for the 44-year-old Valley Center woman is seeking to delay a hearing set for Tuesday on the government's request for a temporary injunction keeping Dillard away from the doctor and her clinic. The lawyer says prosecutors have no objection to rescheduling the hearing for later this month.

Prosecutors allege Dillard violated the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act when she mailed a letter to Mila Means.

From her letter:

You will be checking under your car everyday — because maybe today is the day someone places an explosive under it . . .

Thousands of people are already looking into your background, not just in Wichita, but from all over the U.S. They will know your habits and routines. They know where you shop, who your friends are, what you drive, where you live.

People will be picketing your home, your office. You will come under greater scrutiny than you've ever known, legally and professionally.... I urge you to think very carefully about the choices you are making.

1. Lock her up...
let 'them' all find out that threats are damaging to their own personal freedom.

4. That not 'true threat' sounds an awful lot like an
Osama bin laden 'not a true threat'.

if she wrote that, it's just tough shit if she didn't mean it.

Or does she not believe in 'personal responsibility'?
