Thank goodness only property was lost. Can you imagine the pain and suffering that fire would have brought to any people who might have been inside that babytoir?
But I reiterate: Nobody was injured or killed in that particular charnel house on that day.
After the fire, that is.
And for the foreseeable future.
An abortion clinic that draws patients from all over Florida and beyond has closed after an Independence Day fire labeled by the group as an "act of terrorism."
The fire late Monday night at the Presidential Women's Center in West Palm Beach sent flames through the roof of the building. The incident was almost one year to the day after an arsonist set ablaze another women's center in Lake Worth, Fla., which remains closed, the Palm Beach Post reported.
Investigators said it's too early to comment on the cause of Monday's fire, though they have found evidence of a fire accelerant at the scene.
But the clinic has come to a quick conclusion.
"It was an act of terrorism, an act of arson that did a great deal of damage," said Lou Silber, the center's attorney. "This is not going to close us down. We are going to open up as soon as possible and provide women medical services."
The case has been turned over to the federal Bureau for Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, he said.
The leader of a local pro-life group says abortion protesters undoubtedly will be blamed.
"It is tragic that it happened," said Frances Fitzgerald, president of the Palm Beach County Right to Life League. "You don't take care of violence with more violence."
