via Jezebel — Violence at abortion clinics has been down since George Tiller was murdered in 2009, and part of the reason may be that
the Obama administration is doing more to prosecute anti-choice protesters who break the law. Some say the FBI could haveprevented Tiller’s death if Scott Roeder had been investigated more thoroughly, but under the Bush administration, the federal goverment generally didn’t do much to stop harassment outside clinics. During Bush’s tenure, the Jutice Department only filed one case against a protester who violated the Freedom of Accesss to Clinic Entrances Act or FACE Act. Since Obama has been in office, the Department’s civil rights division has already filed eight cases.
The FACE Act was signed into law in 1994, and makes it illegal for protesters to block access to abortion clinics or threaten patients with violence. The civil suits filed by the Justice Department aim to create buffer zones around clinics for protesters who have been known to violate the law. NPR reports that in the past two years, representatives from the Justice Department and the FBI have been meeting with abortion-rights groups and medical providers to explain what they do and their efforts to prevent violence against doctors and patients.

About Being Latino Contributors
The pro life movement is never about killing doctors who commit abortions. This is just propaganda by the abortion loving Obama administration and their friends at Planned Parenthood to paint American pro life groups as some sort of vigilante, militia, home grown terrorist types. Don’t believe they hype! The people who kill those doctors that commit abortions are lone wolves and criminals that are not part of the American pro life movement. The Catholic Church or any other Christian church group will never support killing abortioneers. Talk to any of the anti abortion people and groups here on FB and they will all tell you that killing doctors who commit abortions, no matter how evil their acts are, is not the moral or legal or ethical thing to do. And also, Latinos should be aware that Planned Parenthood and other abortioneers don’t open abortuaries in black and Latino neighborhoods out of coincidence, or because they want to help the “poor” minority communities. It’s done for a more sinister reason that has to do with population control, eugenics, making lots of money…You pro abortion Latinos, haven’t you figured this out already? Look up the history of Planned Parenthood or it’s founder Margret Sanger, and if you have a heart or conscience as a Latino you will become anti abortion and realize that the American abortion industry spells racial GENOCIDE.
