The right’s scary new test lab: Antiabortion activists target a major city
How one little-known couple helped turn Albuquerque into a petri dish for a new, national strategy to ban abortion

It was June of 2010, a little more than a year after George Tiller was murdered by an antiabortion activist in Wichita, Kan., that Operation Rescue announced it would be sending two self-described missionaries from Kansas, where the organization has its headquarters, to New Mexico.

The antiabortion group made no effort to hide the reason behind the move: Tiller’s clinic, one of the few in the country to provide late-term abortion services and long the target of Operation Rescue’s activism, had closed, and two of its physicians relocated to Albuquerque.

And so Bud and Tara Shaver followed them there, bringing their small family to New Mexico to try to shutter the Southwestern Women’s Options clinic — and turn their adopted hometown into a petri dish for a new, national strategy to ban abortion at the municipal level.

While state restrictions continue to multiply across the country, the tactic of criminalizing abortion at the city level is a relatively new development among antiabortion activists .....

1. It's an interesting article

it seems like a good tactic for them to take -if they can make it work there, they will surely try it elsewhere.

2. Operation Rescue should be labeled as domestic terrorists!
