Preferred term
anti-abortion terrorism
Definition
- In the years following Roe v. Wade, the 1973 case that brought the issue of legalizing abortion before the Supreme Court, anti-abortion terrorism has plagued abortion providers throughout the United States. The FBI considers militant anti-abortionists, like radical animal rights and environmentalist groups, to be “special interest” or “single-issue” terrorists, whose adherents use violence to achieve one end.
