If you think back a bit, you'll remember that there have been various groups that have posted abortion doctor's personl information to pro-life websites. This information was then used to harass and/or harm the doctors in question.
It is certainly a grey area legally, but I think a reasonable argumant can be made that the only reason for posting lists like this is to incite illegal acts, and this the very posting should be illegal. It's a fine line though to be sure, and there are no easy answers.
