During the week of July 21-28, pro-choice advocates successfully defended three reproductive health clinics in Charlotte, N.C., against an extremist anti-choice group. “Operation Save America” had called for a national protest at Charlotte-area clinics that week. A diverse group of members from the Feminist Majority Foundation, the National Organization for Women, Planned Parenthood, the March on Wall Street South and others joined together to physically defend the clinics against harassing, intimidating and racist anti-choice zealots who frequently engage in terrorist activity, including clinic bombings and the stalking of health care providers and their families.
