Yesterday, the Civil Rights Division of the Justice Department announced that they are prosecuting a Wichita, Kansas resident Angel Dillard under the FACE (Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act) for allegedly sending a threatening letter to an abortion doctor:
Among other things, Dillard wrote: “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 will know where you shop, who your friends are, what you drive, where you live. You will be checking under your car everyday-because maybe today is the day someone places an explosive under it.” Later Dillard added: “We will not let this abomination continue without doing everything we can to stop it.”
Wichita is where Dr. George Tiller was gunned down two years ago while in church. Pro-choice activists have often argued that the government could dissuade potential anti-abortion violence by more vigorously enforcing the FACE Act.
