Anti-Abortion Extremism

The radical wing of the anti-abortion movement emerged in the 1980s; its violence peaked in the early 1990s with dozens of serious crimes, including bombings, arsons, murders and attempted murders. The frequency of anti-abortion violence began to ebb in the mid-1990s, but never dissipated entirely. Anti-abortion violence has actually remained a consistent, if secondary, source of domestic terrorism and violence, manifesting itself most often in assaults and vandalism, with occasional arsons, bombings, drive-by shootings and assassination attempts.
