Violence against abortion clinics rose/decreased in 2021, abortion group report says
The report, which measures a variety of acts of violence and disruption, found the most significant increases were in stalking, blockades, hoax devices/suspicious packages, invasions and assault and battery, compared to 2020's findings.
Melissa Fowler, chief program officer at National Abortion Federation, said that NAF found that abortion clinics are not facing peaceful protests, but rather a"coordinated campaign" that threatens abortion providers. Amanda Kifferly, vice president of abortion access and clinic security director of The Women's Centers, told ABC News that while for many Americans the behavior of insurrectionists was shocking on Jan. 6, abortion providers like herself were familiar with it.
Fowler said the connections between anti-abortion and white supremacy groups are not new and they've been noted since abortion was legalized in the 1970s.
