Abortion-rights advocates say the need exists for late-term abortions, in cases of extraordinary genetic defects and other dire health circumstances, and some had worried that only a few physicians would be willing to provide such care after Dr. Tiller’s killing, an act prosecutors say was carried out by an abortion foe.---taken from The New York Times
Is there a comma missing after the "an act prosecutors say" ? I think the bolded bit is a parenthesis that should be enclosed by a pair of commas. Am I right? Thanks.
No, no need. The entire phrase after the comma refers to the "killing" that precedes it. This is not the same construction as: "Forum members say, 'Listen to our advice.'" It more on the order of "Every morning the two women say hello to me."
