Anti-abortion Web site loses case PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) - Abortion foes who created "wanted" posters and a Web site listing the names and addresses of "baby butchers" were ordered to pay $107 million in damages Tuesday by a federal jury that said the tactics amounted to illegal threats. Planned Parenthood, several abortion doctors and a clinic had sued the activists under the U.S. racketeering statute and a 1994 federal law that makes it illegal to incite violence against abortion doctors or their patients. Unlike previous cases brought under the 1994 law, this one did not involve any physical confrontations or explicit threats. Because of that, the anti-abortion activists contended the Internet site and the posters were protected by the First Amendment.
