-Caveat Lector- WJPBR Email News List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Peace at any cost is a Prelude to War! Monday July 16 4:58 PM ET Judge: Abortion Opponents Can March By ROXANA HEGEMAN, Associated Press Writer WICHITA, Kan. (AP) - A judge overruled the city Monday and said abortion opponents can hold marches this week outside the clinic of one of the few doctors in the nation to perform late-term abortions. The ruling came as hundreds of demonstrators, in town for a renewal of the Summer of Mercy anti-abortion protests that crippled Wichita a decade ago, took to the streets to demand an end to abortion. They read Bible verses over a loudspeaker as they marched through downtown with a police escort. Judge Thomas Marten ruled that the city improperly denied the demonstrators' group, Operation Save America, a parade permit for marches near the clinic of Dr. George Tiller. Tiller's clinic was bombed in 1985 and he was shot and wounded in 1993, two years after the first Summer of Mercy in Wichita. During those 1991 protests, anti-abortion demonstrators besieged Tiller's clinic. Marten said the group would be allowed to parade for one hour twice a day during this week's demonstrations. City officials said the group was denied a parade permit for safety reasons, but Marten said the move violated the demonstrators' First Amendment rights. The abortion opponents also challenged the constitutionality of a municipal court order imposing stiffer bail of $2,000 for nonresidents arrested at the clinic this week. But Marten ruled that the higher bail is not a problem since it applies to people on both sides of the abortion debate. In 1991, the first Summer of Mercy - led by firebrand Randall Terry and Operation Rescue - ended with 2,700 people arrested in more than 45 days of protests. The group has since distanced itself from Terry and calls itself Operation Save America. - *COPYRIGHT NOTICE** In accordance with Title 17 U. S. C.
