Beyond that, antiabortion crusaders plan to harass pharmacological abortionists just as they do the old-fashioned kind. After being kicked off the Web by six different Internet providers, for example, activist NEAL HORSLEY is back online with his "RU-486 Registry" website, which, among other things, will be listing the names of doctors who dispense the drug. Horsley's websites have been criticized in the past for inciting violence: Buffalo, N.Y., abortion provider Dr. Barnett Slepian was on a Horsley list when he was murdered in 1998.
