Man Rams Car Into Abortion Clinic, Swings Ax
Saturday, September 30, 2000
ROCKFORD, Ill. — A man drove his car into the city's only abortion clinic Saturday, then damaged the facility with an ax before the clinic's owner confronted him with a shotgun, authorities said.

The clinic was not open and nobody was injured.

WROK radio reported the man drove through an overhead door at the Abortion Access Northern Illinois Women's Center around 8:15 a.m. He was swinging an ax around the office when the clinic's owner fired a 12-gauge shotgun twice. He did not hit the man.

Police said the man was arrested and was being questioned. They would not give his identity or comment further.

The owner also was not immediately identified. The clinic houses the office of Dr. Richard Ragsdale. He has no home telephone listing and an answering service for his office would not comment.

Ragsdale filed a landmark 1983 lawsuit challenging Illinois abortion restrictions, contending that they required doctors performing abortions to conduct their practices in buildings that in effect are hospitals. Under a settlement that was upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court in 1990, women fewer than 18 weeks pregnant may undergo abortions in clinics, while those beyond that term require full-service surgical facilities.

Rockford is located about 85 miles northwest of Chicago

Now how do you suppose the anti-gun/pro-abortion mindset will reconcile this one?
 
Caught it on the ABC Channel 7 news here in So. Ka. tonite . They interviewed the man tonite . He said he owed his life to his shotgun .
A priest drove his car into the overhead door at the clinic . Got out and started to swing an ax . The fella chambered a load and told him to stop . He did not . The fella fired at the wall and told him again to stop . He did not . The fella fired once more . The priest stopped . Laid down on the floor and waited for the Law .
This priest has been seen days before on the closed curcuit camera outside the clinic kind of sizing it up . Looks like he was planning this for a while .

The preist should have waited till after hours. No People that could be harmed. Just make his point (or edge) and leave.
 
Great story for the RKBA as it demonstrates that the cause is not just relevant to conservatives.

I recall seeing someone post about an abortion doc who on an interview debate with an anti-abortionist, praised his 1911 for defense.

The antiabortionist had a fit and called him a gun nut.

As far as the priest waiting for later, would you have said that if he had run into a gun store at night and done damage?
 
Saw that flash on the tickers as
"man with Axe attacks Abortion Clinic"
and
"Priest Attacks Abortion Clinic with Axe."

As soon as the story came though that it was a self defence gun story it dropped.


GOOOOOOOO FOX!

Heard the story on CNN this weekend, but funny, no mention of the fact that the axe-wielding priest was stopped by 'gasp' a citizen armed with a 'double gasp' firearm. All the news reported was "Priest drives car into abortion clinic, attackes clinic with axe." How truly typical.

Bias? What bias? (sarcasm off)
 
The liberal, fact-twisting, pile of stupidity that is the Springfield Journal Register got this story right. They even had the owner's quote about the shotgun saving his life in a bold-print quote at the top of the front page. I have to give them credit for this one. Nowhere else, though.
 
You guys are forgetting something. That axe must have prompted him into a fit of blinding rage. I will be attempting to get a law passed call the "axe control act of 2001" and I need your support. Hopefully we can get this passed by 2001 (at least) to save any more potential casualties that may fall victim to the terrible axe. Those evil red assualt fireman's axes must go first!

VOTE TROUBLE FOR PRESIDENT, 2000!

If elected, I promise to outlaw all "assault axes", whose sole purpose is to chop stuff, while protecting the right of sportsmen, hunters, and target axers to use axes for legitimate purposes, such as chopping stuff.

I, unlike my opponents, will also work to require all axe owners to pass an axe safety course, and be licensed and registered for each axe they own. We must take these measures to keep axes out of the hands of children and criminals.

VOTE TROUBLE FOR PRESIDENT, 2000!
 
and don't forget, we must also ban those evil papist assault vehicles, too, you know, the ones with the plastic Jesus on the dashboard and the fish onthe trunklid. M2
