The Pullman (WA) Fire Department and the Inland Northwest Joint Terrorism Task Force have determined that arson was the cause for a fire that burned a Planned Parenthood health center early Friday morning. The blaze was set at around 3:30 a.m. on Friday, and the structural damage from the fire was substantial. The facility may be closed for a month or longer, according to Planned Parenthood spokeswoman Tanya Riordan.
This apparent terrorist attack comes amidst a growing wave of death threats against Planned Parenthood employees and other health professionals,
who provide abortion or contraceptive services nationwide. While an
exact motive for the arson has not been determined, the FBI and the
Joint Terrorism Task Force are involved in the investigation, because of
the long history of domestic terrorists targeting facilities that
provide reproductive services for women.
The Pullman Planned Parenthood health center did not
perform abortions, although they sometimes gave abortion referrals for
clients.
