Green co-authors op-ed in Ms Magazine

Tiffany Green, PhD, associate professor in the Division of Reproductive and Population Health, co-authored an opinion article published in Ms. Magazine in response to violence against Minnesota legislators in June 2025. 

In “The Minnesota Shooting Wasn’t Random—It Was a Predictable Resurgence of Violence”, Green and co-author Jamie Morgan draw connections between the shootings and ongoing stigmatization of abortion care. They argue that hostility towards abortion and isolating abortion care from other routine medical care creates vulnerability for patients, providers, and even policymakers:

“Abortion hostility shapes how people access care. Most abortions are not performed in hospitals or primary care offices, but in standalone clinics that face constant threats and burdensome regulations. Abortion clinics face staggering rates of disruption, which we have also normalized: Clinics that provide reproductive and gendered healthcare reported over 128,000 separate incidents of picketing from 2023 to 2024 alone.”
