Anti-Choice Terrorist James Kopp Convicted
of Murder;
Statement of Planned Parenthood Federation of
America

YORK - March 18 - Following is a statement by Planned Parenthood
Federation of America regarding the conviction of James Kopp:
The conviction
of confessed terrorist and murderer James Kopp is a triumph for
justice. Our thoughts are with Dr. Slepian's family and community.
James Kopp's horrendous crime is a painful reminder of the threat
posed by extremists who will go to any lengths to impose their
ideology on others.
Planned Parenthood
and America's pro-choice majority will not tolerate anti-choice
terrorists and their limitless hostility toward reproductive health
care providers and the women they bravely serve. We hope the outcome
of the Kopp trial will dissuade other anti-choice extremists from
further harassment and violence. Planned Parenthood is committed
to protecting our patients, staff and volunteers and to ensuring
that those who threaten them are brought to justice.
