I think that's absolutely true. The abuse from the whackjobs at clinics is pretty awful. If you're one of the few in an area or one of the few in the country who provides services, you're going to get more abuse. They go crazy for the late-term abortionists and glue their locks and torment and protest. I volunteered at a clinic as one of the people who met the women in the parking lot and helped them get past the protesters. It's horrible to hear what they say to them. I can't imagine living with that every day when I showed up for work.
The bottom line has to be that Dr. Tiller was not breaking the law. Kansas law requires 2 doctors to agree the abortion is "medically necessary" and if all that paperwork was in order, he wasn't doing anything illegal. If the shooter believes he was doing "God's work" by executing the "baby killer", how is that different from the neighbors' dog telling Son of Sam to kill people? I hope the nutjob gets the chair.
My position is that if you don't believe in abortion, you shouldn't have one.
No ob/gyn worth their degree is going to allow their patient to die if a third trimester abortion is needed. I believe that it's done quietly under the guise of 'stillborn' statistics as to not attract attention of the nutjobs.
