OPINIONISTA: Abortion providers — the custodians of reproductive justice in South Africa By Marion Stevens

Yet abortion is a safe procedure and these deaths are a grave reproductive injustice as this mostly affects black pregnant people. The Department of Health developed National Clinical Guidelines on Abortion in 2018, yet it has not passed these nor planned budgetary allocations to implement them.

St Louis, Missouri – August 16, 1995: FBI arrests Robert Cook, who was threatening to start a war by killing an unnamed abortion doctor on August 22.

Winnipeg, Canada — November 11, 1997: Dr Jack Fainman was shot by a sniper with a high-powered rifle while in his home. Missing his heart by centimetres, the bullet tore through his shoulder. Army of God member James Charles Kopp remains a primary suspect.
