Excerpt from Abortion Clinic Violence: Hearings Before the Subcommittee on Crime and Criminal Justice of the Committee on the Judiciary, House of Representatives, One Hundred Third Congress, First Session, April 1 and June 10, 1993 Good morning. Today we are having a hearing on Beyond Block ades and what we should do about those. Why are we having this hearing? Well, it seems some have gone beyond peaceful means to try to exercise their rights to protest abortion and have had a dra matic change in tactics. Blockades are no longer the only thing done. Individuals have been targeted. Newly announced targets of the antichoice movement are individuals who provide or seek abor tions rather than the system that makes abortion legal. The advo cates of this strategy have intentionally targeted what they see as the weak link - their words - in the chain of legal abortions with tactics the originators have proudly given such language to as the No Place To Hide Campaign. What do they do? They trace doctors, staffers, and patients through their license plate numbers. They videotape and eavesdrop on them in their homes. They follow and harass them in stores, restaurants, and theaters. They bother their neighbors, picket their homes at all hours. They make phone calls to them both threaten ing and designed to jam lines. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
