terror is a relative thing:

"The good news is that passage of the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances act in 1994 was rewarded by a precipitous fall in the major categories of criminal violence outside health centers compared to the five years previous: the number of murders of medical staff dropped by 40%; attempted murders fell by 45%; arson dropped by 62%; and attempted arson and bombings fell by 48%. Incidents of harassment, disruption, and blockades also showed a decline."

Anti-abortion terrorism reached something of a crescendo in 1998. Dr. Bernard Slepian was murdered when a sniper shot him through the kitchen window of his Buffalo, New York home. An explosive device packed with nails killed a security guard and maimed a nurse at a women's clinic in Birmingham, Alabama. So-called "pro-life" forces splattered 19 women's clinics with butyric acid and started the tactic of sending letters allegedly containing Anthrax to clinics. The corporate media covered these events, but their attention waned in 1999 and completely disappeared in 2000.

But that doesn't mean anti-abortion violence has stopped.

Acts of violence against abortion clinics and their employees have been carried out across the United States throughout the 1980s and 1990s.
There were 1,700 acts of violence against abortion providers between 1977 and 1994, with four people killed in 1994 and one in 1993, according to statistics from the National Abortion Federation. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms has logged 167 attacks against abortion clinics over the past 15 years.
In 1984, there were 18 bombings against abortion clinics. In 1993, there were 78 death threats aimed at clinic employees. And, in 1996, bombings, threats and harassment affected about one-third of U.S. abortion clinics.

Since 1982, there have been 169 arsons and/or bombings of abortion clinics. Seventy-seven of these incidents have been solved by a partnership consisting of ATF and State and local counterparts, resulting either in arrests, convictions, indictments, and/or incarcerations in prison facilities or State mental institutions.

Reemphasizing ATF's commitment to a combined effort toward investigating arsons and bombings directed at abortion providers and family planning clinics is a national program established in conjunction with the National Abortion Federation and the Planned Parenthood Federation of America. As part of this program, the National Abortion Federation and Planned Parenthood, with the help of an anonymous donor, established a reward of up to $100,000 per incident for information leading to the arrest and conviction of persons responsible for arson fires, bombings, and serious acts of violence at abortion and family planning clinics. ATF in turn set up a hotline to receive this information.
This number is 1-888-ATF-BOMB.
