Birmingham bombing echoes hate and faith rivals
In a Birmingham context, the writer links the 1963 Sixteenth Street Baptist Church bombing to a recent fatal anti abortion clinic bombing. The piece condemns militant anti choice violence, notes FBI/ATF data on clinic attacks, and argues moral authority is lost when bombs replace debate. It contrasts civil rights era ideals with today’s violence.
