In May of 1992, after her home state of Oregon passed a law increasing to five years the punishment for blocking access to abortion facilities, Shannon set fire to Willard Brown's abortion facility in Ashland, Oregon. Mr. Brown never reopened, and the abortion rate for Jackson and Josephine counties dropped drastically following the fire.
