Life Foundation Blasts FBI for "Gestapo Tactics;" Says FBI Uses Witch Hunt on Critics of Abortion

The California Catholic Daily website reports today (July 30, 2012) that Life Legal Defense Foundation attorney Allison Aranda sent a letter to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) because they threatened and questioned pro-life advocate Andrew Moore at his home in Dallas, Texas on July 13. The letter demands that the FBI stop the harassment, which it referred to as "Gestapo tactics."

The FBI agents asked Mr. Moore about his employment, how he met his wife, who his friends are, where they attend church, why he has certain political views, and why he engages in particular activities in the community.

"The FBI agents used bullying tactics and intimidated Mr. Moore," said Dana Cody, executive director of the Life Legal Defense Foundation, located in California. "It's deplorable that they want to silence his constitutionally-protected free speech rights."

"When has it become the business of the government to invade a private citizen's residence to ask him such personal questions?" Cody added. "It is clear that the FBI is not merely seeking to enforce federal law, but is conducting a witch hunt of anyone who is openly critical of the Obama administration's pro-abortion position."
