Investigators said Linda Meek reported on Aug. 13 that a bomb had been placed in a trash can at Reproductive Services of Tulsa, according to documents filed Wednesday in U.S. District Court in Tulsa. The clinic, which was bombed twice in 1997, and an adjacent building were evacuated, but a bomb technician determined that a suspicious box in the trash can was not an explosive.
Meek, who left her position with the clinic after the incident, is charged with conveying false or misleading information, according to the documents. Meek, 63, is scheduled to make an initial court appearance in federal court on Thursday. She faces up to five years in prison if convicted.
Some pro-life advocates said they believe Meek may have been trying to mislead authorities and the media, to portray abortion opponents as violent fanatics who will stop at nothing to end the practice.
Republican state Rep. Mike Ritze, who supports pro-life legislation, said the bomb scare is part of a growing trend among abortion activists to represent opponents as violent and dangerous in order to divert public scrutiny from themselves

OC, you do realize that you can be set free from this hatred? Though I get the feeling that you actually enjoy it. I also get the feeling that you're going to willfully and willingly choose Hell when you die, because nothing seems to revolt you more than love.
The person posting above as "Operation Counterstrike" posts the same comment on about half our posts here.
For a change, I will not delete his comment, as it is actually en point for a change, and even goes so far as to prove my point, which is that liberals are violent, while conservatives are slandered.
And Dr. Tiller's killer had abandoned the pro-life movement. We all applaud his arrest and imprisonment.
So, let's get this clear. I can't figure out what either side is saying. The Right to Life movement is basically a peaceful movement. Once we break the rule of law, what we are really endorsing is anarchy. No one I know in the right to life movement breaks the Rule of Law or endorses anarchy. Our job with Dr. Tiller is to pray for his immortal soul, not to judge him. We judged his actions, but not the man. Please clarify, what the heck both sides of this debate are talking about.
