4:35pm ET - Although Anti-abortion
violence is considered a form of terrorism, it is often excluded from
government reports, which can help create an impression that it is no longer a
problem. However, anti-abortion violence
remains a troubling element of America's domestic terrorism environment and new
research from the Feminist Foundation reveals that more than half of abortion
clinics and doctors are faced with daily threats and intimidation. These threats, often including vandalism,
arsons, bombings, drive-by shootings, and assassination attempts, are
continuously putting doctors' and clinic workers' lives on the line. Furthermore, when compounded with the fact
the Republicans and conservatives have slowly been chipping away at women’s
reproductive rights across the country has created the most dangerous
environment for women’s rights since the historic Supreme Court decision in the
Roe v. Wade case of 1973. Joining us today to discuss the history of
abortion in the US and how it transformed our society for the better and what
is being done to erode those gains is Dr. David A. Grimes, who currently serves as a Clinical Professor in the
Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the University of North Carolina
School of Medicine and whose new book Every Third Women in America: How Legal Abortion Transformed America reflects
his 40 years’ experience as a gynecologist and his life’s work of fighting for
the civil rights of women of America.
