Listened to this book about a mysterious author and her back story of tragedy, the closet, and her artistic journey. Felt epic at times and YA at others.

Quotes by David S. Cohen (?)

“Individual abortion providers have been picketed at home and have received harassing mail and phone calls. Their family members have been followed where they work, their children have been protested at school, and their neighbors’ privacy has been invaded.”
― David S. Cohen, Living in the Crosshairs: The Untold Stories of Anti-Abortion Terrorism

1 likes

“despite abortion being such a common and safe medical procedure, individuals who provide abortion care cannot count on their own personal safety, and partly because abortion providers are not safe, there are very few abortion providers in the United States. Because of their work, abortion providers have been murdered, shot, kidnapped, assaulted, stalked, and subjected to death threats. Their clinics have been bombed, attacked with noxious chemicals, invaded, vandalized, burglarized, and set ablaze.”
― David S. Cohen, Living in the Crosshairs: The Untold Stories of Anti-Abortion Terrorism

“Donald Yates, a longtime clinic owner and physician in a South Atlantic state, routinely ended his workday to find his car tires punctured.”
