Soon after, the Harrison County board of supervisors passed an ordinance prohibiting the operation of an abortion clinic within 500 ft. of a church, school, kindergarten or funeral home. There are two churches close by Booker's building. Four of the five hospitals in the Gulfport-Biloxi region have denied Booker admitting rights that would guarantee his patients a bed in the event of complications. For good measure, the local power company has refused to provide electricity to his unfinished clinic until he secures the building permit he cannot...
...charge the out-of-staters as much as $100 for the names of abortion doctors. As prices climbed as high as $1,000, abortion became a hustler's game. "There were doctors who were literally becoming millionaires," says Dr. Irving Rust, the medical director of a Planned Parenthood clinic in the South Bronx.

When the showdown began, Buffalo had studied Wichita and was prepared. A federal judge issued an injunction two months ago that threatened antiabortion protesters with $10,000-a-day fines for coming within 15 ft. of a clinic door.

...communities across the U.S., from Asheville, N.C., to Fargo, N. Dak., the nomadic Lambs of Christ have focused attention on themselves and their targets with now familiar tactics. Whenever possible, they will enter an abortion clinic, or at least blockade it. Using heavy Kryptonite bicycle locks, they chain themselves to concrete blocks or automobile steering wheels and then go limp, making it difficult for police to remove them. When arrested, they usually refuse to give their names -- and they are more than willing to do jail time since that puts a financial burden on local law-enforcement systems. The Lambs...
