Audio recordings taken by an undercover activist reveal that a network of anti-abortion activists in Texas are photographing the license plates of patients who use women's clinics in order to track and monitor them. Furthermore, the group is using tax records to identify and locate physicians and staff of the clinics.

The Austin Chronicle reported Tuesday that two groups, NARAL Pro-Choice Texas and Progress Texas released the tapes, which were recorded at the Capitol in Austin. Multiple anti-choice groups were on hand offering instructions to new recruits on how to more effectively stalk and harass abortion providers and their patients.
The recording features excerpts from "Keeping Abortion Facilities Closed," a seminar held by the anti-choice groups - united under the banner Texas Alliance for Life - on August 4.
Karen Garnett of the Catholic Pro-Life Committee of North Texas
instructed her fellow protesters and activists to flood the streets around women's clinics so that "prayer chains" can be on site "in front of every abortion facility during all hours that abortions are being performed."
"Part of that," Garnett said, "is so that we can track. We can track the number of women who choose life and we can also track who works there, who is your abortionist. You can do that, it's totally legal. You can track license plates."
She went on to detail how her group has a "very sophisticated spread sheet" so that they can track and monitor every person who arrives and leaves women's health centers.
"You have license plates, the car make and model and a description of the person," she said.
Comment: Domestic violence is a combination of kidnapping, brainwashing, assault, and torture. Neanderthal-type "men" have been using these ruthless reproductive tactics and it's only relatively recently that society has come to explicitly condemn their tactics. But there's still an undercurrent of "hear no evil speak no evil," from politics to the family, that serves this dynamic of betrayal.
Family members still tend to blame the victim, due to a lack of understanding the disturbed character and the psychopath, and because it's often safer to get the victim and her abuser out of the picture due to the damage he causes. The gold seal goes to men like Joe Rogan for speaking out against these predators.
