Terrorism Task Force investigates crisis pregnancy centers
The FBI has
announced its intention to investigate a chain of crisis pregnancy centers in
conjunction with the Joint Domestic Terrorism Task Force. Chris Slattery, national director of
Expectant Mother Care Front Line Pregnancy Centers has been “invited” to meet
with the task force. This appears to be
part of a nationwide effort to intimidate pro-life organizations. If you recall, back in 2009 Secretary of the
Department of Homeland Security, Janet Nepolitano, claimed that opponents of abortion
are likely to engage in extremist activities.
Since then there has been long history of federal intimidation of
pro-life activists. For example, Susan
Pine was harassed by the federal government for protesting outside a Florida
abortion clinic. The feds went so far as
to file federal criminal charges against her.
The persecution of Ms. Pine lasted two years and was so extreme that a
federal court ordered the Justice Department to pay Ms. Pine over $120,000 in
attorney fees after she was acquitted.
