Cover story – A new threat to free choice: Rosa Ellis investigates how anti-abortion protesters got organised.
In 1992 a man from Texas called Mark Crutcher compiled an 86-page document titled Firestorm: A Guerrilla Strategy for Pro-life America. He argued that it was unlikely that Roe v Wade would be repealed, so instead anti-abortionists should use other means. As he put it: “Today, we have opportunities before us which, if properly exploited, could result in an America where abortion may indeed be perfectly legal, but no one can get one.”
