Of course, when clinics are threatened with violence, it isn’t just doctors that are murdered. According to the National Abortion Federation, there have been over 6200 incidents by anti-choice terrorists against clinics, doctors, employees, volunteers, and patients since 1977.

Let’s take a look at the breakdown of violent incidents:

  • 8 murders
  • 17 attempted murders
  • 41 bombings
  • 175 arson
  • 97 attempted bomb/arson
  • 391 invasions
  • 1429 vandalism
  • 2057 trespassing
  • 100 Butyric Acid attacks
  • 661 Anthrax threats
  • 184 assault & battery
  • 416 death threats
  • 4 kidnappings
  • 157 burglaries
  • 526 stalkings

And that doesn’t mention the attempted disruptions including hate mail and harassing phone calls, emails, bomb threats (643) and clinic blockades (763). Of course, the numbers are actually much higher than this because some of these statistics were not tracked until the mid-1990s.
