From the Broadsheet:
Earlier this week, antiabortion crackpot David McMenemy attacked a women's health clinic in Iowa by pouring gasoline inside his car and crashing it into the building. It's horrifying to see suicide-bomber-type tactics being used by the antichoice movement; fortunately, no one was hurt. The especially weird part is that the clinic in question, the Edgerton Women's Health Center, doesn't perform abortions or refer patients to abortion providers. It's a primarily obstetrical facility that also runs the local Women, Infants and Children (WIC) program, according to the Feminist Daily News Wire. McMenemy mistakenly thought it was an abortion clinic. This situation certainly wouldn't be any better if he'd successfully targeted an abortion provider. But it's interesting to note that the politicization of women's health is such that, for some people, the term is synonymous with abortion.
A terrorist is someone who uses violence against civilians for a political end. David McMenemy is a terrorist.
