Anthrax Suspect's Abortion Stance Eyed As Motive : NPR

If true, and it certainly does seem plausible as the article characterizes it correctly, this would be a whole new way of bombing an abortion clinic.  If true, it really makes one continue to wonder how one could possibly be pro-life and do such a thing, even if the abortion stance was only part of the motive for the crime.

The Ivins affidavit mentions an article in the September/October 2001 issue of the Right to Life of Greater Cincinnati newsletter that singled out Daschle, Leahy and Sens. Edward Kennedy and Joseph Biden for criticism because of their abortion rights votes…

Given his longstanding connection to Cincinnati (he attended college there), his wife's role in the Frederick Right to Life Chapter, and his own beliefs about abortion, it is not implausible to have found the article in Ivins' home. Officials close to the case said that they believe Ivins' right-to-life fervor was at least part of the reason he would target Daschle and Leahy.
