Man arrested for bringing bomb to Kansas abortion clinic

Quote:WICHITA, Kan. - Police say a man is in custody after he brought a small improvised explosive device into a women's health care clinic that provides abortions in south-central Kansas.

Wichita Police Department spokesman Doug Nolte says officers responded to the South Wind Women's Center around 3:30 p.m. Monday. He says on-site security inspected a backpack the man brought in and found knives and the explosive device.

Officials told CBS affiliate KWCH in Wichita that the suspect was also carrying a small box wrapped in tape.

Clinic staff evacuated the building, and a bomb squad was called to remove the backpack. No injuries were reported.

Nolte says police are investigating whether the man intended to harm the clinic. The FBI and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives are also investigating.

The clinic is one of three in Kansas that provide abortions. It opened in 2013 in the same building where Dr. George Tiller provided abortions before he was gunned down in 2009. Tiller's killer, Scott Roeder, said that he had chosen to obey "God's law" to save babies, after shooting Tiller while the doctor was serving as an usher in church.

Ban IEDs!

Wonder how many babies were murdered at that "clinic", curious?

None. Murder is illegal.

That's too bad.

have stated this before....was at the b'ham clinic a week prior to that bombing....

fkn morons do moronic things....

what is the point other than some people are dipshites?

are you the leftist erc?

I think the correct term would be "attempted bomber" rather than "thug". His behavior doesn't fit with what is typically considered thuggish

Killing innocent children is murder. It's in your Bible of you read it.

If he had succeeded in murdering anyone, he should face the same as all the other murderers who walk through those doors.

Tom reads his Bible to say babies in the womb aren't life.

Tom, murder is illegal except for the exception granted to ****** up mothers.

When a pregnant woman is murdered DAs charge for 2 murders, one being the unborn child.

I wonder if Gallup ever polled that? What percent of people think abortion is murder?

Gallup poll on abortion

Quick summary:

...over a 30 year period, people thinking abortion should be legal in all circumstances has risen from low 20% range to near 30%
...in same period, people thinking abortion should always be illegal has been in the teens and now around 20%

Specifically concerning abortion as murder, reviews of polls found
Gallup surveys

Quote: Do you agree or disagree with this statement? Abortion is murder.

Los Angeles Times, June 2000: 57% agree; 36% disagree

Which of these statements comes closer to your opinion: Abortion is the same thing as murdering a child, or abortion is not murder because the fetus really isn't a child?

CBS/New York Times, January 1998: 50% murder; 38% not murder


Do you think abortion is an act of murder, or don’t you feel this way?

CNN/USA Today/Gallup Poll, January 1998: 48% murder and 45% don’t feel this way

What is your view -- do you think abortion is an act of murder, or don’t you feel this way?

Time/CNN, August 1994: 43% murder; 47% don’t feel this way

I hope that helps.

I've always believed that there are extremists at both ends of the scale. And that there is a vast middle ground that only wants abortions to be available but with some restrictions (eg. parental consent, partial birth outlawed.)

There is no way to justify murdering anyone who provides abortions.

And I don't buy the "by killing the abortionist, how many babies lives will be saved" argument.

I don't think anyone condones what this moron did, string him up for all I care.

What's damn ironic though...if he did explode a bomb and kill a pregnant lady at that clinic he would face two murder charges. The lady in the clinic along with the doctor kill that same baby tomorrow....nothing.

Thugs gonna be thugs.

Agree 100% How do you justify killing people in protest? Killing the innocent people in the waiting room is no different than killing innocent babies ?
How does assassination of an abortion doctor fit in with the teachings of Jesus?

Must have got his IEDs confused with his IUDs.

Why would a MALE attempt to enter such a clinic with a backpack anyway?
