MILWAUKEE —
A Wisconsin court late Monday barred abortion opponents from staging protests in Milwaukee similar to the demonstrations that led to more than 2,600 arrests outside abortion clinics in Wichita, Kan., last summer.
The protesters said they would block Milwaukee’s abortion clinics anyway.
“We don’t need to ask the state’s permission to do acts of righteousness,” said the Rev. Matthew Trewhella, head of Missionaries of the Preborn.
Trewhella said abortion opponents would demonstrate at two clinics today.
