Monitoring Clinic Violence
Shots have rung out across the nation. In 1991, in Springfield,
Missouri, a clinic receptionist was shot and paralyzed from
the waist down. In March of 1993, Dr. David Gunn was murdered
outside an abortion clinic in Pensacola, Florida.
Shockingly, some anti-abortion extremists are still calling
"justifiable homicide" -- the murder of doctors -- a legitimate
strategy to close clinics.
The National Clinic Access Project has helped to improve
the status of clinics nationwide, but abortion providers,
escorts, and women are still at risk.
Feminist Majority Foundation
Clinic Violence Survey
The National Clinic Violence Survey is
compiled by the staff of the Feminist Majority Foundation's
National Clinic Access project, measuring anti-abortion violence
and harassment over the past twelve months. This survey is
one of the most comprehensive studies of anti-abortion violence
and harassment directed at clinics, patients, health care
workers and volunteers in the United States and includes abortion
providers of various organizational affiliations as well as
independent clinics.

Anti-abortion extemists are waging a war of attrition: this
strategy targets one set of clinics and health care workers
today, then after these clinics perish or the health care
workers quit, they move on to target another set of clinics.
