THOMAS MORE LAW CENTER WINS PRO-LIFE VICTORY IN MONTANA
(Ann Arbor, MI) — In a ruling the Thomas More Law Center called a “sound victory” for the pro-life cause and free speech, a Montana federal judge signed an order this past week upholding the First Amendment right of pro-life demonstrators to carry graphic signs of aborted babies.
“This is a sound victory for free speech and the pro-life cause,” said Robert Muise, the Thomas More Law Center attorney handling this case. “These graphic pictures of aborted babies are the most effective way to show the public that abortion is a terrible and violent act. Abortion supporters want these signs taken out of the public square, and too often the police and city attorneys are willing accomplices. However, as this case shows, the First Amendment protects the pro-life demonstrators’ right to use these signs to speak out against abortion.”
The Montana case received national attention last year. On August 10, 2001, Jonathan Martin and Michael Stamp, along with his wife and several children, were demonstrating against abortion on a public sidewalk outside of a local Planned Parenthood facility in Great Falls, Montana, with signs displaying pro-life messages, Sacred Scripture passages, and images of aborted babies. A Great Falls Assistant City Attorney, flanked by two police officers, ordered them to remove their graphic signs or they would be cited and the signs would be confiscated. According to this Assistant City Attorney, the signs were a “public nuisance.” Rather than risk arrest and have their signs confiscated, the pro-life demonstrators left the area.
The Thomas More Law Center was retained and quickly filed a federal civil rights lawsuit on behalf of the pro-life demonstrators seeking a declaration that their First Amendment rights had been violated and an award of damages and attorneys’ fees.
On March 18, 2002, Montana federal district court judge Sam Haddon signed a Consent Judgment finding that the Assistant City Attorney had “unconstitutionally deprived Plaintiffs of their rights guaranteed to them under the First and Fourteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution” by preventing them from demonstrating with their aborted baby signs. The judge ordered the Assistant City Attorney to pay the Plaintiffs nominal damages for the loss of their constitutional rights and attorneys’ fees and costs in the amount of $9,346.01.

Think about Live Birth Abortion because its going on right now.
Dr. Tiller specializes in Late term Abortion.
Many patients request a remembrance of their baby to take home with them. when they have Late Abortion Care.
At Women's Health Care Services, our Fetal Indication Termination of Pregnancy program involves managing the pregnancy by the premature delivery of a stillborn. On the first day of the process, an injection of a medication is made into the baby to assure that it will be stillborn.
