Intruder With Hatchet Smashes Up Planned Parenthood Clinic

wikipedia.org

New Hampshire police say an intruder used a hatchet to destroy computers, plumbing fixtures, phones and medical equipment inside a Planned Parenthood clinic.
Claremont NH police are investigating whether the vandalism is linked to the word "murderer" spray-painted on the same building earlier this month. Police Chief Alexander Scott says officers checking the building early Wednesday apprehended a juvenile inside.

Flooding that resulted from the vandalism also damaged a business adjacent to the clinic.

The chief says the clinic had operated in the city 18 years without incident.

Funding for Planned Parenthood has been under attack nationwide since July, when an anti-abortion group released an undercover video showing agency officials discussing the disposition of fetal tissue.
