Two young couples, who say they were following God’s orders when they undertook an anti-abortion mission in three Christmas Day bombings, go on trial today on charges of violating federal firearms and explosives laws in Pensacola, Fla. Matthew Goldsby and James Simmons, both 21, were arrested shortly after the blasts at offices where abortions were performed. They pleaded innocent, and an insanity defense is planned, according to court papers. Goldsby’s fiancee, Kaye Wiggins, and Simmons’ wife, Kathren, both 18, also have pleaded innocent.
