The Numbers Don't Lie
Edited on Tue Jul-21-09 02:22 PM by and-justice-for-all


the numbers will stun you.

Help us end the campaign of anti-choice violence and intimidation against abortion providers and women’s health centers.

Donate Today!

The 30-year campaign of anti-choice violence has already resulted in:

* 8 murders
* 17 attempted murders
* 41 bombings
* 175 arsons
* 406 death threats
* 5,800 acts of vandalism
* 13,995 harassing phone calls and hate-mail incidents

Clinics spend thousands of dollars on bulletproof glass, armed guards, security cameras, and metal detectors. And 87 percent of counties in America do not have a single abortion provider available.

Help us turn these numbers around by defeating these threats to reproductive freedom. Donate today.

No matter how you look at the numbers, one thing is clear: Anti-choice activists intend to put all abortion providers and women’s health centers out of business so that, even if abortion remains legal, women will have no access to it.

Are these anti-choice tactics working? Do the math for yourself. Dr. George Tiller was shot to death on May 31, and his practice in Kansas was permanently closed shortly after. This leaves an immense void for women in Kansas and all around the country who counted on Dr. Tiller’s commitment and service to reproductive choice.

I urgently need your help to keep women’s reproductive rights moving forward.

We need your support to work with our friends in Congress to ensure that the violence and inflammatory rhetoric used by anti-choice groups, politicians, and pundits will not be tolerated. And if elected officials won’t stand with us, we must do everything in our power to elect leaders who will.

Donate today to help us change the course of the future and protect choice for generations to come.

Sincerely,

Nancy Keenan
President, NARAL Pro-Choice America
