Dozens of anti-abortion protesters were arrested outside a Melbourne, Fla., clinic protected by a court-ordered buffer zone in a second day of Easter weekend demonstrations. Police made 51 arrests in Melbourne on Saturday and 76 at a Ft. Pierce clinic Friday night in the first large-scale protests organized in Florida since an abortion doctor, Dr. David Gunn, 47, was shot to death at a Pensacola clinic a month ago. Michael F. Griffin has been charged in the shooting and is being held without bond.
