Number of the Day

[Trigger warning for violence.]

32.7%: The percentage of women's reproductive-health clinics located near anti-choice "crisis pregnancy centers" which have "experienced one or more incidents of severe violence, compared to only 11.3 percent of clinics not near a CPC. (Severe violence includes clinic blockades and invasions, bombings, arson, bombing and arson threats, death threats, chemical attacks, stalking, physical violence and gunfire.)"

I say again that the anti-choice movement, which includes a decades-long campaign of intimidation, harassment, and violence directed at abortion providers and abortion seekers, is the most brazen, unapologetic, inherently violent terrorist campaign in America, its co-ordination and orchestration done right out in the open, where no one in the media or politics will call it what it is.

Additionally:

CPCs, of which there are an estimated 2,300 to 4,000 nationwide, use a variety of tactics to deceive women who are considering abortions, as Joyce pointed out, including: "[providing] misinformation about their pregnancy status or due date or suggesting unproven links between abortion and cancer, infertility or suicide. A 2006 congressional report requested by Rep. Henry Waxman (D-Calif.) found that 87 percent of CPCs that receive federal funding provide false information."

But let's defund Planned Parenthood.
