march 10 is national day of appreciation for abortion providers
MARCH 10 IS THE NATIONAL DAY OF APPRECIATION FOR ABORTION PROVIDERS
**please forward this to lists, websites, etc.**
WHY MARCH 10?
this was the day that anti-abortion activists decided to elevate
their terrorist tactics to a new level---> it is the first day that
an abortion doctor was assassinated in the usa.
that doctor was dr. david gunn.
WHAT'S IT LIKE WORKING IN A CLINIC?
unfortunately, many people don't realize what it's like on a
day-to-day basis for those working in abortion clinics. i ask
that you pause, just a moment, and consider what some people
who work in clinics deal with daily.
*it is being an abortion doctor and wearing a bullet-proof vest
every day
*it is being an abortion doctor and refusing to wear that bullet-proof
vest every day
*it is being an abortion doctor and needing to wear a wig to do daily tasks--like grocery shopping
*it is opening clinic mail and considering that any item may contain
an anthrax threat----> this terrorist tactic was used at abortion
clinics way before 911
*it is always being alert when arriving and leaving work
*it is wondering if an abandoned car parked beside an abortion clinic has a bomb in it
*it is not knowing if law enforcement is going to take your calls seriously
abortion clinics have functioned on red alert 24/7 for decades.
on march 10--or after that, why not send postcard(s) (no cards, due to anthrax concerns) to thank abortion clinic staff and doctors for continuing their work, despite terrorist conditions and despite baby bush and his buddies!
PLEASE REMEMBER THEM
also, please remember the following people who were murdered by anti-abortion assassins:
*dr. david gunn--march 10, 1993
*dr. george patterson--august 28, 1993
*dr. john britton--july 29, 1994
*james barrett--escort--july 29, 1994
*shannon lowney--staff--december 1994
*leanne nichols--staff--december 1994
*officer robert sanderson--off-duty cop providing security--january 29, 1998
*dr. barnett slepian--october 23, 1998
then, there are the survivors of shootings, bombings, arson, etc.
*dr. george tiller was shot in both arms, august 19, 1993, and still
practices abortion in wichita, kansas--anti-choice activists have
relocated to that area to increase the harassment of tiller and his
staff (his clinic address is listed at the end of this e--please send them
postcards!)
*emily lyons survived the bombing of a clinic, on january 29, 1998. the bomber wasn't satisfied with just blowing the clinic up. he put nails in the bomb so they would shoot out and do more damage than an explosion. he waited across the street and watched for people to enter the clinic, then detonated the bomb. sanderson, off-duty cop, died. lyons had a hole the size of a fist in her stomach. the flesh from her legs was ripped off and her vision is permanently damaged. emily will not stay silent and speaks
about this.
*june barrett, an escort, was shot. her husband and a doctor were also shot. they died.
*and many others
PLEASE SEND POSTCARDS (NO CARDS--ANTHRAX CONCERNS)
