Report Calls for More Protection for Abortion Providers

RH Reality Check: New Report: Abortion Providers = American Human Rights Defenders, Now Under Increasing Attack, by Jodi Jacobson:

A new report by the Center for Reproductive Rights (CRR) calls on both the federal and state governments to address the growing threats against and stigmatization and abuse of abortion providers throughout the United States.  The report is accompanied by a series of videos including interviews with providers, and an action campaign targeting Congress.

The report, Defending Human Rights: Abortion Providers Facing Threats, Restrictions, and Harassment, focuses on a key obstacle to the realization of women's reproductive rights--the challenges faced by abortion providers--and recognizes their work as human rights defenders.
