False witnesses?

The U.S. Supreme Court is set to review the most sweeping legal judgment against pro-life activists in history. But painstakingly compiled new evidence shows that pro-abortion witnesses in the case may have lied | Lynn Vincent

Fay Clayton takes no prisoners. In a legal brief delivered on Sept. 17 to the U.S. Supreme Court, the feminist attorney from Chicago blamed pro-life activists for a litany of violent acts that stop just short of murder:

Demonstrators "regularly assaulted clinic personnel and patients," Ms. Clayton wrote, "... hit and clawed them, choked them, threw them to the ground, shoved and elbowed them, and slammed them against buildings even as they begged to be let go because they were being crushed." Pro-life activists "applied so much force against bodies pinned against buildings that glass doors and windows were damaged or cracked from the pressure." In an assault on one Los Angeles post-surgical patient, pro-lifers "pulled her hair, struck her, and beat her with an anti-abortion sign until her sutures ruptured and she passed out."
