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).
