Erin Grant, deputy director of the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/abortioncarenetwork.org\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Abortion Care Network<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, penned a piece\u00a0arguing that pro-life laws and pro-life violence are closing independent abortion facilities; therefore, we should increase our demonstrations of support for them (though what that might look like is never defined).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Putting aside the fact that the closure of child-killing centers \u2013 no matter who runs them \u2013 is always a good thing, her argument is disingenuous at best. Her piece is\u00a0a mish-mash of platitudes lacking a clear thesis.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even the title \u2013 &#8220;<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/msmagazine.com\/2022\/03\/09\/independent-abortion-provider-clinic-roe\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Independent Abortion Providers Are on the Front Lines in the Assault on Reproductive Rights<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201d \u2013 is misrepresentative and euphemistic, since abortions always happen <em>after<\/em> reproduction has already occurred. Therefore, restrictions on one\u2019s ability to commit an abortion can never be accurately characterized as an \u201cassault\u201d on one\u2019s right to \u2013 or not to \u2013 reproduce.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But that\u2019s just the beginning of the chain of distortions. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Recycling the Myth of Pervasive Pro-Life Violence<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Grant writes, \u201c[P]roviders \u2026 have to \u2026 endur[e] unrelenting threats, violence, and harassment by anti-abortion extremists\u201d; and \u201cproviders, escorts, and volunteers show up every day and put their own health and safety on the line[.]\u201d Both of these statements are ridiculous exaggerations.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although there have been some noteworthy and deplorable incidents of violence \u2013 including murder \u2013 perpetrated against abortionists, they are few and very far between, and have been denounced by the pro-life movement as a whole. It has been shown that incidents of legitimate violence against abortion workers have been steadily <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/despite-recent-attacks-abortion-clinic-violence-is-down\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">declining<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> over the past decades. Even the National Abortion Federation\u2019s own security staffers have been forced to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/national-abortion-federation-violence-trespassing\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">admit<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> under oath that most of the incidents they attempt to construe as \u201cpro-life violence\u201d are actually mere trespassing, and are not even necessarily committed with a pro-life motive.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Meanwhile, pro-abortion advocates harass, intimidate, and even attack pro-lifers on a regular basis, without a peep from the mainstream media. Escorts at the Bristol Regional Women\u2019s Center in Tennessee, for example, have been known to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/abortion-escort-attacks-taunts-pro-lifers-police\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">attack<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> sidewalk advocates \u2013 on video.
