The organization, which claims over 4,000 members and 100 chapters, was started in 1993 after a Texas anti-abortion group mailed out thousands ofpamphlets to medical students nationwide, pamphlets that included jokes designed to intimidate: “Q: What would you do if you were in a room with Hitler, Mussolini and an abortionist and you had a gun with only two bullets? A: Shoot the abortionist twice.” Laterthat year, abortion provider Dr. David Gunn was shot dead in Pensacola,Fla. And the anger that killing generated helped fuel the organization. Professors will play on team with students. One priority ofthe group, which is based in Berkeley, Calif., is to educate future doctors, said MSFC executive director Patricia Students interested in participating should sign up Anderson.
