Last Friday, three people were killed and at least nine were injured when Robert Lewis Dear allegedly shot them at a Colorado Springs Planned Parenthood facility. This assault was the latest in a recent surge of violence against women's health clinics following the release of doctored videos this summer by anti-abortion activists who claim the videos show Planned Parenthood staffers selling fetal tissue.

But even before this summer, US abortion providers have weathered a long and deadly string of violent attacks. On Sunday, Michelle Kinsey Bruns, a feminist organizer and the woman behind Twitter account @ClinicEscort, tweeted a roundup of 100 attacks on women's health providers, beginning with the 1976 arson attempt at an abortion clinic in Eugene, Oregon, and ending with the response from some anti-abortion activists to Friday's shooting in Colorado.

Here's her list:

#is100enough: how many antichoice attacks, threats & incitements until you admit clinic violence is real?
Not holding my breath for apologies from the zillion Twitter rightists who came at me on the day of the CO Planned Parenthood shooting to say I was making up the big problem with US antichoice violence, i.e., domestic terrorism—but here are my citations.
