    🔍 The FACE Act is the main federal statute that protects abortion providers and patients. We obtained a never-before-released list of every FACE case filed by the Justice Department since 1994 and found that only 101 cases have been filed under the act.

    Usually, the biggest chunk of a retailer’s carbon footprint comes from all the products it sells. But if you’re Amazon, you decide to play by different rules. A private report we obtained shows how it manages to boast such a small carbon footprint.

    One of the biggest questions for Flynn + fellow providers now is: How will SCOTUS’ imminent ruling affect clinics in Florida? “Right now, we’re just sending out the message that ... abortion is still legal. We are still open, abortion is safe,” Flynn said.

    🔍 The Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act is supposed to protect abortion providers and patients. However, a Reveal analysis of federal data shows the Justice Department has only ever filed 101 cases under the act. That’s an average of just four a year.

    Protesters have also reported major threats against them. In an October 2020 incident in Orlando, a man dropping off a patient pointed a gun at a demonstrator who approached his car. Our analysis found that only a small percentage of calls by either side ended in arrests.

    Hundreds of calls were for relatively minor infractions such as trespassing and what police refer to as “suspicious” activity. But the majority in our analysis were more serious, like a man who tossed two Molotov cocktails into a Fort Myers clinic.

    But the protest movement’s on-the-ground impact has been almost impossible to measure. Now, in a first-of-its-kind analysis, Reveal has found that police calls across the state related to clinic harassment, disturbance and violence doubled over the past six years.
