The FBI is asking for the public's help in investigating a spate of unsolved attacks against reproductive health facilities nationwide after an Illinois man was charged Wednesdaywith setting fire to a Planned Parenthood clinic.

Suspect said setting fire to Planned Parenthood 'all worth it'

Massengill initially denied responsibility for the fire, investigators said. But later, authorities said he confessed. No patients or staff members were inside the building at the time of the blaze, said Jennifer Welch, president and CEO of Planned Parenthood of Illinois. But the fire caused"extensive" damage that will cost more than $1 million and force the health center to shutter for months, Welch said.

Since 1977, when NAF began collecting this data, the organization has reported 11 murders, 42 bombings, 196 arsons and 491 assaults targeting patients, providers and volunteers at abortion clinics.
