Rachelle Ranae Shannon was born in 1956 and led a rather normal, average life until 1987, when she began involvement in the battle against abortio. The housewife and mother of two protested, marched, and blocked doors to abortion facilities, being arrested in California, Oregon, Washington, North Dakota, and Georgia for such charges as criminal trespass, unlawful assembly, failure to disperse, and violating court orders.

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.
