NOW activists across the country are mourning Dr. Slepian's death. Abortion rights activists will hold a candlelight vigil at 7 PM tonight, at the Buffalo GYN Women's Services clinic where Dr. Slepian worked.
Women still run a gauntlet at abortion clinics.
Doctors and staff at the clinics still face death threats, arson, bombing, stalking, extortion and murder. NOW Executive Vice President Kim Gandy called on the Justice Department to take immediate action to stop anti-abortion violence. These terrorists have friends in high places. Their right-wing sympathizers in state legislatures and Congress give credence to their tactics by creating legislation to restrict or outright ban abortion.
