“I submitted a resolution, Senate Resolution 173. It condemns last week's tragic bombing of a reproductive health services clinic in Birmingham, AL. As most of us know, this vicious and unprovoked attack killed a police officer and critically injured a clinic worker. We already know that clinic worker lost one eye, and I watched her anguished husband talk about the possibility that she might have an operation on the other eye as well. I am very proud that this resolution that I have submitted is bipartisan. Last week's attack was the first clinic bombing in the United States to cause a death, but, unfortunately, it was far from the first bombing. In recent years, reproductive health services clinics have been the targets of an unprecedented reign of terror. Last year alone, clinics in Atlanta, GA, and in Tulsa, OK, were bombed, resulting in many, many serious injuries. The reign of terror began with the murder of Dr. David Gunn in Pensacola, FL, in 1993.”
