Madsen originated at the embattled Aware Woman Center for Choice clinic in Melbourne, Florida. Protesters regularly blocked the clinic's doorway and climbed the fences to yell things like "Mommy! Don't kill me! They're ripping my arm off!" at clients. Aware Woman was attacked with butyric acid and its locks were jammed with glue; its staff members were stalked and threatened and their neighbors and children accosted.

The Mayo Clinic review of 749 women who had implants, and 1,498 who did not, found a proportionately equal number of cases of disease in both groups when other disorders developed. Researchers say the findings represent good news for the 1 million to 2 million U.S. women who have had breast-reconstruction or -enlargement surgery, but critics argue that the study was too narrow, and did not consider the possibility...
