Op Rescue Brings Its Terror Tactics Online
Excerpt from my new Philly Weekly column (full piece here):
Last year, in the wake of the arrest of Kermit Gosnell, Operation Rescue came to town. They met in the basement of St. Agnes Church in West Chester. As PW reported in March, the militant anti-abortion organization was there recruiting volunteers to gather doctors’ names and schedules by pretending to be mothers of daughters who were seeking abortions.
Volunteers were told they’d find it surprisingly easy to lie, and that the Holy Spirit would tell them what to say. It was described as playing a fun detective game.
Last week, Operation Rescue debuted the result of its labor: The tagline for AbortionDocs.org is “the largest collection of documents on America’s abortion cartel.” The online database “endeavors to list every surgical abortion clinic, every ‘abortion pill-only’ clinic, and every abortionist in the United States.”
Thanks to this handy-dandy disclaimer, we know it has simply nothing to do with encouraging violence against clinic workers!
