Racketeering Conviction of Anti-Abortion Groups Voided(NYT)
The New York Times reports today that a federal racketeering judgment against a coalition of anti-abortion groups that conducted a widespread campaign of disrupting and blockading abortion clinics during the 1980's had been overturned, saying that the protesters' actions, although in some instances criminal, did not fit the federal definition of extortion. Good. While I completely support a woman's right to abortion, the seemingly endless extension of federal laws to meet all sorts of boutique prosecutions has got to stop.
