MSNBC's Melissa Harris-Perry hears from Diane Horvath-Cosper, an abortion provider who in a Washington Post opinion piece "described one of the costs of her profession: Constant fear that her life, along with her family, might be in danger." Horvath-Cosper penned the opinion piece after discovering an antiabortion-rights website had posted a photo of her that includes her daughter, which Horvath-Cosper says "really crossed a line for me."

When asked about how antiabortion-rights harassment affects her decision to provide abortion care, Horvath-Cosper says, "I know that what I do is the right thing for women; women will get abortions whether or not ... they're legal." She adds, "[M]y response to bullies is to continue to provide this service, to continue to help women understand that what they're having is a very normative experience, and that I'll be there for them no matter what" (Harris-Perry, MSNBC, 11/1).
