NATION IN BRIEF : KANSAS : Abortion Foe Vows to Resume Blockades

Operation Rescue leader Randall Terry left Wichita, Kan., with two other organizers of anti-abortion demonstrations there but said blockades of clinics will resume. The protesters have laid siege to two clinics over the last three weeks, and police and U.S. marshals have made more than 1,900 arrests in enforcing a federal judge’s order against blockades. About 150 protesters gathered again outside one of the clinics but did not block entrances. Terry said he was taking time off to see his family and tend to other matters. The Justice Department has intervened in the case, saying the effort to keep the clinics open is beyond the judge’s authority.
