This should not stand.
An anti-abortion leader says his group may try to buy the now-closed Wichita abortion clinic owned by a doctor who was shot and killed last month.It is simply appalling to think the fate of the only clinic providing a critical healthcare service to women for miles around could be a future as a museum to the very cause that killed the courageous doctor who ran the clinic. And what does this say for violent intimidation? "Kill someone if you don't like what they do, then take their stuff to prove you were right."
The leader, Troy Newman, the president of Operation Rescue, said on Wednesday that his group, which had long fought to close the clinic, was considering trying to buy the squat, beige building to perhaps turn it into a memorial museum, “a tribute to the babies,” that might be open to visitors. - The New York Times
There is a colonialism and exploitation metaphor in here somewhere, but I'm too disgusted to figure it out right now.

Funny, but I don't think they're talking about "tak[ing] their stuff." They're proposing "trying to buy the squat, beige building...."
I know you on the far Left are unfamiliar with the concept, but "buying" isn't "taking."
Well, if we're going to play those kinds of semantics, fetuses aren't babies.
Yes, they're trying to legally buy the clinic. The fact that they have the opportunity to do that is entirely the result of hate and violence from a person they supported and worked with.
That is disgusting, and is as much "taking" as any form of blackmail.
