Abstract
The last 2 years have marked a dramatic escalation in the level of abortion-related violence in both Canada and the US. Two physicians and two clinic workers have been murdered since 1993, and last November the violence may have moved north of the border with the shooting of Dr. Garson Romalis in Vancouver. Milan Korcok looks at the threats facing American abortion clinics and the people who work in them, and discusses steps that have been taken to protect them. He warns that the violence that has plagued the US because of this issue may now be moving across the border to Canada and other countries.
