A local anti-abortion group published name and addresses (home and work) of a local abortion doctor.
Publish the name, home address and phone number of an abortion doctor. Make it a viral video or whatever.
Do you think the abortion provider will get love letters and congratultory phone calls from bona fide welk-wishers? Or protests, bags of dog poop and prank calls?
