Abortion Quote by Malcolm Wrightson Nance
“There's actually some fluidity here in the United States. Using local intelligence against [terrorism].But you still have to infiltrate these groups. You still have to collect intelligence as you see fit. And they are organized. They are very well organized in the anti-abortion movement. Ideologically, they're almost the same. And that's where we see these spurts of violence.”
