Planned Parenthood: Anti-Choice Rhetoric Feeding “Domestic Terrorism”

HeadlineNov 30, 2015

In the wake of the shooting, Planned Parenthood Rocky Mountains CEO Vicki Cowart said in a statement: “We share the concerns of many Americans that extremists are creating a poisonous environment that feeds domestic terrorism in this country.” At a vigil on Saturday, Cowart said Planned Parenthood will not be intimidated into abandoning its work for women’s health.

Vicki Cowart: “What happened yesterday was a terrible crime, resulted in terrible tragedy, and we will never forget it. But we will adapt, we will square our shoulders, we will go on, we will show up for work on Monday, and we will begin again. And we invite all of you to be with us, more resolve than ever that providing healthcare and education for the people across our community is the right thing to do.”
