The article begins as follows: “On July 31 John Cavanaugh-O’Keefe (Prolife Maryland) gathered some Christians together at Gohari’s aborturary (a.k.a Metropolitan Women’s Center<\/em>, or something like that) in Greenbelt.\u00a0 Approaching the familiar scene of ‘borts and prolifers arrayed opposite one another was Deborah Drapkin.\u00a0 Her intention was to enter the abortuary as if to procure services and discover what kind of treatment one gets inside.\u00a0 Her story follows”<\/p>\n

Another article (p. 2) reports on Shelley Shannon and her “pro-life” detractors. Shelley want to prison the month before for terminating an unwanted abortionist and\u00a0so remains to this day.\u00a0 Why do anti-abortionists get either swiftly executed (Paul Hill) or jailed forever in contrast to regular criminals?<\/p>\n

Regular “radical fringe” news is found on pages 5 and 6. Efforts of Fr. Trosch to arouse support for Paul Hill are opposed by his superiors. Michael Fix (abortuary incinerator from May of that year) is given honorable mention.\u00a0 Abortuary damage in Milwaukee, home of famed anti-abort Matt Trewhella, is reported.<\/p>\n

Boise, Idaho news includes a quote from USA Today: “an arson fire extensively damaged an abortion clinic that has been the target of protests and threats.”\u00a0 Comments from CACN: “Who would do such a thing?\u00a0 An angry father who lost a child in the chamber?\u00a0 A grandfather?\u00a0\u00a0 Oh that parents would protect their children!”<\/p>\n

A “NOT WANTED IN OUR COMMUNITY” poster is featured on page 10 with a picture of Abortionist Abraham Anderson.\u00a0 On the basis of such posters Planned Parenthood\u00a0 of Washington (State! Bray was last there as a second-grader in 1959) sued\u00a0Michael Bray\u00a0and a dozen other anti-abortion activists, calling such posters a threat.\u00a0 We noted in that issue\u00a0that the flier had been circulated by OR Virginia and that the abortionist had decided to quit killing babies.<\/p>\n

Bray was cited in the lawsuit (which resulted in his being found liable for a million dollars; the total for all defendants was $8 million).\u00a0 Bray neither produced nor circulated the (normally legitimate, free speech-protected) posters; his involvement with the dozen committers of threats (so adjudged by\u00a0some judge in Oregon<\/em>!) was noted in the suit to be\u00a0nothing but\u00a0this: attending an anti-abortion rally in D.C. and making his book, A Time to Kill<\/em>, available for sale there!\u00a0 That’s it!<\/p>\n
