Houston Chronicle’s Lisa Falkenberg wrote a story about how Planned Parenthood clinics are received down here in West Texas – not surprisingly where both George W Bush and Rick Perry call home. Planned Parenthood clinics didn’t go as planned
The issue is how Planned Parenthood clinic owners Claudia Stravato (from Amarillo, Texas) and Amanda Stukenberg (from Body of Christ, Texas) had to leave the franchise and start their own clinics for fear of being killed by Christians. The Planned Parenthood policy of one size fits all – must include abortion services – is not possible in many parts of Texas.
"If you want to be the monopoly and you want to be the face of abortion, and you paint a big ‘X’ on your back, don’t be surprised when the guns get turned on you," Stukenberg told me.
"As you streamline, and you’re operated out of a city 500 miles away, that feeling of connectedness disappears," Stukenberg says. "That’s when you become a target."
"Amarillo, Texas, would be bombed" if anyone tried to open an abortion clinic, Stravato says. "We’re in a part of the state that would never allow one to be built, let alone perform abortions."
Please tell me how that differs from the Taliban?
