The biggest "pro-life" proponent in Bellevue, Neb., didn't join the phalanx of 65 anti-choice protesters on the sidewalk next to Dr. Leroy Carhart's clinic over the weekend. He was too busy providing reproductive health care to dozens of women inside.

Despite mounting threats to his clinic--and potentially his life--by
extremists with links to the murderer of Kansas Dr. George
Tiller, the DOJ has removed federal marshals that were protecting Nebraska Dr. Leroy Carhart.
