Abortion clinics saw an increase in violence and threats in 2022, report says
A new report says there was a "sharp increase" in violence at abortion clinics in 2022, the year when Roe v. Wade was overturned, ending the federal right to an abortion. A disproportionate increase occurred in states that protect abortion rights, according to the National Abortion Federation, a professional association for abortion providers.
