NATION IN BRIEF : KANSAS : Police Ease Vigil at Abortion Clinics
From Times Staff and Wire Reports
Police and U.S. marshals withdrew from the gates of abortion clinics in Wichita, Kan., as abortion protesters apparently abided by a federal judge’s order keeping the clinics open. The protesters’ primary target has been Dr. George Tiller, the operator of Women’s Health Care Services, a clinic where late-term abortions are performed for women referred by doctors across the nation. Nearly 1,400 arrests have been made since the protests began July 22.
