    I believe abortion is only permitted if the mother’s life is in danger in Islam, but this is the first time I’ve heard of someone who sounds like they might be a Muslim threatening a Planned Parenthood in the U.S.

      Hmm. Hard to say. I admit I was bad and didn’t read the article until now. He threatened them over the phone, which is a hell of a lot easier than in person. I think the point of the article is to show that someone was actually punished for it and I wouldn’t be surprised if it was racial bias that resulted him getting punished over some white nutjob.

      How diverse is Indiana? I spent a few months in Fort Wayne and it was very very white. Ohio is a weird one though I have spent a lot of time there too. New York is pretty diverse. I think the other person was right though that the news skews what is reported on.

      Sad part is how much PP has had to increase security over the last 10-15 years. No more walking through the front door. They keep the doors locked and have to buzz you in. Wouldn’t be surprised if some locations have security guards and more protection for their employees and patients.
