ALABAMA : Nurse Hurt in Clinic Bombing Goes Home
A nurse maimed in the nation’s first fatal abortion clinic bombing left a Birmingham hospital with shrapnel still embedded in her body. A scarred, smiling Emily Lyons, who lost her left eye and suffered numerous injuries in the Jan. 29 explosion, held a vase of red and pink roses as husband Jeff Lyons rolled her out of University Hospital in a wheelchair. Lyons, 41, climbed into a limousine for the short ride home. Lyons was arriving for work at the New Woman All Women Health Care Clinic when the bomb went off in the front yard. Security guard Robert Sanderson was killed.
