Local law enforcement officials are anticipating significant squabbling over the question of abortion. San Diego police have a rapid-response plan to arrest any protesters who attempt to shut down abortion clinics during the convention. Local judges have drawn up an "emergency court session plan" to handle the judicial overload should...
