Reply #9: Do you disagree that docs providing abortions are threatened with violence?

[uppityperson]

Since that is the conclusion, you disagree with that?

"an opinion piece DRAWS CONCLUSIONs from the poll results."? Maybe you missed the word "suggesting"? And you are very wrong. It DRAWS CONCLUSIONS based on a whole lot of other things.

Do you disagree with "Meanwhile, the murder of Dr. George Tiller in May 2009 was only the most recent in a long history of violent attacks on doctors who provide abortions, their clinics, and their staffs."?

Do you disagree with "Dr. LeRoy Carhart and Dr. Warren Hern, two of the last physicians in the country who continue to perform late-term abortions--a vital service that protects women's lives and health--despite constant harassment and threats."?

Do you disagree that there is a "growing anti-choice sentiment"?

Do you disagree with any of this? "Meanwhile, the murder of Dr. George Tiller in May 2009 was only the most recent in a long history of violent attacks on doctors who provide abortions, their clinics, and their staffs.

In the face of this growing anti-choice sentiment, our film will paint a vivid portrait of two courageous abortion providers who have continued to protect women’s reproductive rights, despite ongoing threats and harassment. The two men this documentary will focus on—Dr. Warren Hern and Dr. LeRoy Carhart—are also two of the last physicians in the country who provide third-trimester abortions for women as needed, making them the current number-one targets for anti-choice fanatics.

The sacrifices that these doctors make—from installing metal detectors in their clinics to avoiding restaurants and other public places—often go unnoticed. Similarly, the complicated medical and personal circumstances that lead many women to seek an abortion are frequently misrepresented or ignored.

This documentary will take audiences into the day-to-day lives of these inspiring doctors, providing audiences with a fresh perspective on this controversial issue. Rather than presenting these doctors as one-dimensional symbols of a divisive political battle, our film will use their everyday routines, personal convictions, and community relationships as gateways for understanding these brave individuals and the many women whose lives they touch."
