Op-ed calls for the federal US government to revive the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act and revive the National Task Force on Violence against Health Care Providers.
"Even if no national anti-choice group directly ordered [Dr Tiller's murderer] to fire that gun, he is a product of a culture that thrives on systematically threatening reproductive health care providers and women who seek abortions."
THIS. U.S. Marshals and security arrangements for those gyns who do provide abortion services is one thing in the short term, but there needs to be a better medium-to-long-term solution if future Tiller-alike-shootings are to be prevented.
