Bomb at Planned Parenthood in Wisconsin

What the freaking hell is this? There isn’t much information on it so far, but apparently there was some kind of bomb planted at a Planned Parenthood near Appleton. A homemade explosive device was placed on a windowsill at 7:40 pm on Sunday. There wasn’t much damage, and nobody was in the building at the time so nobody was hurt. They will be reopening the facility on Tuesday.

They don’t know who did it yet, but I can pretty much guess WHY they did it. This has everything to do with abortion, and how Planned Parenthood is a clinic that provides women with that service. I understand what Wisconsin is more politically motivated after the whole deal with Governor Scott Walker and his goonies, but really? A bomb? What the hell, Wisconsin?! If one person acts on it, that means there are dozens, if not hundreds of people who think it. This person who bombed a medical clinic is probably a republican extremist (I say extremist because not all republicans are crazy, and quite frankly, this is terrorism), and I just happened to notice that the Republican primaries are happening today.

The reaction to this story seems to be mixed; some who approve of the actions of this individual, and some who (like me) clearly dislike what has happened. One theory that seems to be common, is that Planned Parenthood planted that bomb themselves to get publicity and pity.

“I'll bet you 10 to 1 it was the work of the pro-Aborts to try and gain support and sympathy for their murderous agenda or the place would have far more damage. More election time stunts and distractions by the stupid and transparent psychos on the left.” - Lucas4440

“It was probably an M-80 someone from PP or the left planted themselves to blame True Christians or the Right since have been caught using tax dollars and Susan B. Komen dollars to perform abortions, as a distraction. A real bomb would have done some serious damage.” - FLHR12

Those on the other side of the argument, point out how Christianity seems to have their own brand of the Taliban in the sense that those who are overly religious become violent.

“Ah yes, the Christian Taliban strike once again. Just like every religious fanatic, when they world will not listen to your religious ramblings - you turn to violence and bombings. I will guarantee Jesus would have been proud of you .... NOT!” - afmcalax

“Do you have evidence the bomber was not Christian? Citing in this case an applicable use of statistics -- the Pro-Life movement's targeting of Planned Parenthood and other medical facilities is a documented fact.

According to the most recent statistics from the National Abortion Federation, there were 114 violent attacks against abortion providers in 2011, including three physical assaults, one bombing, one incident of arson, 27 counts of vandalism and eight burglaries.”

Republicans are noticeably more religious than others, so my point is that this person (who was probably a little disturbed) had gone home after church and saw this video that had aired in Wisconsin because of the upcoming primaries, and got pissed off because his religious extremist views made him think that he was personally responsible for preventing other people from seeking an abortion.




Or maybe he was entirely against how Planned Parenthood gives free health care. Who knows? Some of these republicans are actually congratulating this person for doing what ‘everybody has been thinking’. Others are outright condemning the violence that has resulted from a likely religious nutcase.

  1. This is just another case of people getting lost looking at tree's and forgetting the forest. Lets forget that the culprit was probably Republican. This shouldn't be a political or religious issue. This is the issue of one person or a few people getting lost in the idea that placing a bomb in a building can blast apart and idea. Abortion isn't going to go anywhere while it's still legal. All this person has done is turn a lot of people from his cause and inflame the masses. That and rob women of the place nearly 90% women get there reproductive health-care for a day. I hope this person is caught, jailed and never breathes free air again. More likely he or she will get a few years and then come out and strike again.
