Authors of Forthcoming Book Suggest Ways to Protect Clinic Workers from Anti-Abortion Terrorism

Slate: Anti-Abortion Terrorism, by David S. Cohen & Krysten Connon:

Ten ways that laws and law enforcement should protect clinic workers.

. . . According to a recent Feminist Majority Foundation report, personal targeting of abortion providers is rising precipitously. The 2014 National Clinic Violence Survey tallied the responses of 242 abortion providers from around the country. Providers were asked about their experiences with violence, harassment, and intimidation directed at clinics generally and patients. They were also asked about being targeted individually, which is our concern here. . . .

For the past four years, we have been doing our own study of targeted harassment of abortion providers. . . . These interviews form the basis of a book,Living in the Crosshairs: The Untold Stories of Anti-Abortion Terrorism, which will be released in May. . . .
