In scenes that remind us of the ‘morality police’ found in groups such as the Taliban, a man in Tucson, Arizona has taken it upon himself to ‘reeducate’ women that visit the local Planned Parenthood office. The vigilante pro-lifer, named Jordan Hart, has openly admitted to taking license plate pictures of people entering the facility, so that he can track them down to their homes to raise ‘awareness and truth’ concerning abortion.
Facebook group Planned Parenthood Baby Parts Emporium brought people’s awareness to Jordan’s ‘protest,’ noting that while local police are aware of his activities, they're unable or unwilling to do anything about it.
That's a comment Jordan made himself that was also posted to the same group, it proves he is well aware of his actions.
How certain people can advocate war, violence, and the proliferation of guns while claiming to be ‘pro-lifers’ is a baffling phenomenon.
The same people that are convinced that they're bravely fighting on the ‘battlefield for souls’ in their ‘spiritual crusade’ against abortion are always the first to demand that people fleeing conflict should be turned away at the border, that universal healthcare be taken away from poor families, or that sensible gun control laws have to be avoided at all costs.
When living, sentient kids have their lives tragically taken away from them in one of the multiple school shootings across the US, the stock response is to offer ‘thoughts and prayers.’ Maybe the solution to the abortion issue should be ‘thoughts and prayers’ too, instead of stalking and harassing women for their choice of what they do with their bodies?
People’s responses to Jordan’s post restored our faith in humanity somewhat, with several commenters noting that the work of Planned Parenthood goes far beyond abortions. They give a great deal of help to struggling young families and offer healthcare services like cancer screenings, vaccines, birth control, and advice on sexual health issues as well.
