Anti-abortion extremists forced in the Washington Surgi-Clinic, which provides abortion in D.C. Biden's Justice Department is using the FACE Act.
investigation into how anti-abortion extremists conspired, carried out and were convicted for a violent attack in Washington, D.C.
Fitting those pieces together shows that despite their protestations to the contrary, these extremists knowingly broke the law and willfully engaged in physical aggression. It also reveals that they were secretly materially supported by a network that included prominent individuals—“respectable” people who knew about the planned crime and provided the means to accomplish it, yet were not indicted as accessories.
On Sept. 18, Handy posted a screenshot on her private Facebook page of a graphic she was making for her presentation in the meeting. Titled “A Balance of Principles,” it shows that Handy considers “rescue” to be a sweet spot between “physical intervention” and “violence.” Joan Andrews Bell is known as “St. Joan” within the anti-abortion extremist community. Now in her mid-70s, she has been arrested more than 120 times for anti-abortion crimes, believes that it’s “justifiable homicide” to murder abortion providers and, along with her husband, Chris Bell, employed James Charles Kopp at their New Jersey Good Counsel Home for women with “crisis pregnancies” shortly before heLauren Handy and Joan Andrews Bell.
Soon thereafter Handy paid $118.07 through Airbnb for a place to stay in northeast D.C. from Oct. 21 to 23.“Yo,” she Facebook-messaged Darnel that day. “Will, Matt and Patty want to risk arrest. Also, Joan has two people who might risk arrest. … I’m calling Heather and seeing if there’s any updates from her because I think she’s been trying to get people to block.”
Also on the 20th, Darnel forwarded Handy a private Facebook message from someone identified only as “Cyndie” during the trials. Handy or Darnel asked for a show of hands of those willing to risk arrest. About a dozen people volunteered—among them all the defendants in this case. In the hallway, Idoni and William Goodman, in his 50s, stood in front of the clinic’s staff entrance. Geraghty took up a position in the hallway outside the waiting room. Davis took the place she’d been assigned: in an elevator that patients needed to use to reach the fourth-floor clinic.
If only that were true: In 2018, just two years prior to these events, more than 9 percent of clinics responded to the Feminist Majority Foundation’s National Clinic Violence Survey that they had been blockaded; nearly 7 percent reported that they’d experienced a facility invasion. National Abortion Federation data shows that there have been more than 6,000 clinic obstructions in the past decade.
Another patient, Ashley Jones , exited the elevator. Somehow she managed to get past Geraghty and enter the clinic’s waiting room. Two police officers entered the waiting area. Assessing the situation, they decided that they would need to get a breach kit to get any patients into the facility. Meanwhile, Idoni kept blocking Jones from getting to the reception window.“What are they doing to me? I need to go !” she cried.Finally, Jones maneuvered around her, grabbed a chair, stood on it, pulled herself on top of the counter between the waiting room and reception desk, and flung herself inside.
