Living in the Crosshairs: The Untold Stories of Anti-Abortion Terrorism
- Location: Claire T. Carney Library, Stoico/FIRST FED Charitable Foundation Grand Reading Room
- Cost: Free!
- Contact: LiveWell: Office of Health Education, Promotion, & Wellness
- Description: Abortion is a legal, common, and safe medical procedure that one in three American women will undergo. Yet ever since Roe v. Wade was decided in 1973, anti-abortion forces have tried nearly every tactic to eliminate it. Legislative and judicial developments dominate the news, but a troubling and all-too-common phenomenon-targeted vigilante action against individual abortion providers-is missing from the national discussion, only cropping up when a dramatic story like the murder of an abortion provider pushes it to the forefront. Every day, men and women who are associated with abortion care are harassed, threatened, stalked, picketed, sent hate mail, and otherwise terrorized. Those who seek help from the law are sometimes successful, but not always, either because there are insufficient protections built into the law, or because law enforcement officials fail to respond.
In Living in the Crosshairs, the voices of these providers are heard for the first time, through extensive interviews that authors David S. Cohen and Krysten Connon conducted across the country.
Authors Cohen and Connon will present on their research and book, along with persons who work or have worked at abortion clinics for first-person perspectives of living with the threat of violence while providing health care.
Light refreshments provided.
