Were they subject to a restraining order?
There were, in the 1990s, people who followed abortionists around, and were arrested for that.
I guess if they were waiting for him to go to his car from his house, either they had been waiting a while or knew when he left for the abortion clinic.
It would seem malicious if they were waiting day and night for the abortionist -- so that is something that needs to be dug out of the conviction...
According to Operation Rescue, in February, 1998, both were charged with violating the "focused picketing" ordinance even though neither had signs and both incidents lasted only a minute each.
They violated a focused picketing ordinance, but they did not carry signs, they simply spoke to the abortionist, which I consider okay under the First Amendment...
There is no mention of a restraining order -- at least by Operation Rescue...
Maybe this should earn National Attention -- as the March for Life is a few weeks away...
