Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: Within the literature on the pro-life movement and anti-abortion politics, some have suggested a link between the size of pro-life religious communities relative to the population demographics in particular areas, lack of/perceived lack of political opportunity, and breakdowns in state social control with greater amounts of anti-abortion terrorism. The purpose of this paper is to review and analyze these assertions. Preliminary quantitative analysis indicates that there is more anti-abortion terrorism in places where pro-life religious denominations do not make up a majority of the religious adherents. These findings are in contrast with one of the most publicized examples of anti-abortion terrorism the shootings in Pensacola, FL. In this case abortion providers were shot in a city with a large pro-life religious community that has tended to be less than welcoming to providers of abortion services, and is in a state that has repeatedly attempted to place restriction on access to abortion. While this case runs counter to earlier analyses it provides an opportunity for discussion of anti-abortion violence in specific, as well as terrorism in general, as an extra-legal form of conflict resolution and inter-group social control.
