http://mediamatters.org/research/2015/07/21/the-extreme-and-violent-background-of-the-group/204519"The anti-choice group Operation Rescue has been consulting with the Center for Medical Progress (a fake company used to infiltrate PP) to attack Planned Parenthood with deceptively edited footage. Operation Rescue attempts to stop the "Abortion Holocaust" by "systematically harassing" abortion clinic workers. The group's leadership includes a convicted felon who attempted to bomb an abortion clinic, and it once issued a press release saying the killer of an abortion doctor should have been able to argue it was a "justifiable defensive action."
Operation Rescue Consulting With Center For Medical Progress To Attack Planned Parenthood
Center For Medical Progress Produced Anti-Planned Parenthood Video "In Consultation With Operation Rescue." Operation Rescue says the Center for Medical Progress' (CMP) campaign attacking Planned Parenthood was created "in consultation with" their group. CMP has released deceptively edited videos against Planned Parenthood that have been called out by observers. [OperationRescue.org, accessed 7/21/15; Media Matters, 7/15/15]
Operation Rescue's Senior Policy Advisor Was Jailed For Attempting To Bomb An Abortion Clinic
Cheryl Sullenger Was Sentenced To Prison For Conspiring To Bomb An Abortion Clinic. Cheryl Sullenger's Operation Rescue biography states that she is the group's senior policy advisor and "has been involved in the pro-life movement since 1984."

Anyone not getting this is a massive and coordinated propaganda campaign by extremist pro-birth groups funded by GOP operatives is part of the problem, along with the idiot media that refuses to call a spade a spade.
PP is being "ACORNED".....it is 100% obvious.
A total fraud, but it seems fraud is as believable and solid as truth in America.
So for those Americans unconvinced that the pro-birth crowd will kill in the name of Jesus and the fetus, know that the group behind this propaganda is another in a long line of extremists:
A Long History of Violence
"According to NARAL Pro-Choice America, in the past three decades anti-abortion activists have targeted providers with more than 6,400 acts of violence including bombings, arsons, death threats, kidnappings, assaults, and murders, as well as more than 175,000 acts of disruption including bomb threats and harassing phone calls. Based on these numbers, abortion providers in the U.S. are confronted with violence every 1.7 days and deal with other forms of harassment 16 times each day."
Because the pandemic Christian religious extremism in America will also not be televised.
