Last month Neal Horsley, a prominent anti-abortion activist, died at the age of 70 in Carollton, Georgia. In 1997 Horsley created a website, "The Nuremberg Files," which listed the personal information of abortion providers: names, family members, colleagues, their home addresses, work addresses, and phone numbers.
"The Nuremberg Files" listed four hundred color-coded names of abortion providers across the the country. Names in black were practicing providers, names in gray were providers who had been wounded. A strikethrough meant the provider had been killed.
Jennifer Boulanger is one of the providers whose information was catalogued on "The Nuremberg Files." Several of her colleagues were murdered by anti-abortion activists using the information posted on Horsley's site.
Jennifer Boulanger spoke out about needing greater involvement from local law enforcements to protect abortion providers from violent protestors. Here she is on Rachel Maddow in 2009 immediately after the murder of George Tiller, a physician who practiced late-term abortions:
On this week's episode of Reply All we spoke with Boulanger about the death threats she received on the Internet and in person.
