DAYTON, Ohio, Mar 26 (LSN) – Under President Clinton’s 1994 Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act, Ohio’s Justice Department filed a lawsuit Monday in U.S. District Court against the Dallas-based pro-life group Operation Rescue. The lawsuit asks the court to issue an injunction barring Operation Rescue from blocking or impeding access to the abortion mills and also may ask the court to impose fines of as much as $10,000 on any defendant who is convicted. Convicted defendants may also be ordered to pay as much as $5,000 in damages to any abortuary in question. The law forbids violence and threats, which the state alleges took place at pro-life demonstrations outside various abortuaries in July. Operation Rescue spokesman Kristine O’Dell said “We were not a threat to anybody, we were simply there to give women maybe a little more time to reconsider their decision.”
