On this episode of History of the 90's we look back at an era when unprecedented violence against abortion providers gave rise to a serial shooter, known as the abortion sniper.\xa0\nAbortion doctors in Canada and the US were targeted by a lone gunman who lurked outside their homes, often for days, waiting for the perfect moment to strike.\xa0\nIt was all part of a rise in violence in the 1990's lead by anti-abortion groups like the Army of God and Operation Rescue who used destructive tactics like arson and bombings to get clinics shutdown and prevent abortions from taking place.\nContact:\xa0\nTwitter: @1990shistory\nFacebook: @1990shistory\nInstagram: @that90spodcast\nEmail:\xa090s@curiouscast.ca\nGuest:\nJon Wells, journalist and author of Sniper: The True Story of Anti-Abortion Killer James Kopp\nhttps://www.harpercollins.ca/author/cr-176244/jon-wells/\nTwitter:\xa0@jonjwells\nFor exclusive bonus content subscribe to History of the 90s Patreon page.: https://patreon.com/historyofthe90s\nLearn more about your ad choices.
