Pro-lifers are Terrorists!
That was a quote from former NOW President Patricia Ireland.
The quote was in reference to Joseph M. Scheidlers case which is going back to court for the third time ( Now lost twice). The actual quote:
In a 1998 statement that referred to the Scheidler case, NOW's former president, Patricia Ireland, said, "We will continue our litigation strategy until the terrorists are bankrupt and out of business."
NOW lost its second round in the Supreme Court in 2003 in a decisive 8-1 ruling. The feminist group charged that protests organized by Scheidler's Chicago-based Pro-Life Action League amounted to extortion under RICO.
The court ruled aggressive pro-life protesters cannot be punished by federal racketeering laws meant for organized crime and drug dealers. The decision reversed the RICO charge against Scheidler's group and vacated a nationwide injunction and damage award of $257,780 on the pro-life defendants.
NOW's intent is to crush groups opposing abortion . This case has been dragging thru the courts for 19 Years.
