Planned Parenthood sued for not pre-empting mad-man gun-rampage.
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/planned-parenthood-shooting_us_57441206e4b045cc9a71d5d0The widow of a man fatally shot at a Planned Parenthood abortion clinic in Colorado and a woman wounded in the same 2015 attack are suing the facility over lax security, court records showed on Monday.
The suit claims that given the “long history of violence” at U.S. abortion clinics, Planned Parenthood in Colorado Springs should have implemented safeguards that would have prevented a gunman from going on a shooting rampage that left three people dead and nine wounded on Nov. 27 last year.
...
Planned Parenthood “provided little or no security at (the clinic) such as an armed guard and perimeter fencing, as they do in other clinics,” the lawsuit said.
“It provided no signs, posters, verbal or any other type of warning describing the risk of physical harm, injury or death associated with entering (Planned Parenthood) properties.”
---------------
I have a suggestion for a warning sign:
Warning! We are legally obliged to warn you about the following dangers of anti-abortion activism:
- assassination
- vandalism
- arson
- gun-rampages
- trespassing
- verbal and emotional abuse
- death threats
Enter premises at own risk.
