On the National Level
Pensacola is particularly important due to the conversation it spark across the United States about violence in the pro-life movement. Pensacola suffered the first casualties from anti-abortion violence but is not the only community to suffer such tragedy. Communities across the nation still continue to see violence against abortion providers (Item 1).
In this section, we discuss the national implications of anti-abortion violence, including details on the incidence of such violent acts, laws that aim to prevent the violence, and nationwide movements that continue to promote anti-abortion violence in the name of God.
