New York Attorney Gen. Eric Schneiderman has filed a federal lawsuit against a coalition of Christian pro-life protesters who’ve been accused of threatening patients, staff and family members outside of an abortion clinic in New York City for years. The attorney general’s office announced on Wednesday that it filed a federal harassment lawsuit against 14 pro-life activists who it claims repeatedly “harassed, threatened, and menaced patients, families, escorts, and clinic staff” at the
Choices Women’s Medical Center in Jamaica Queens “every Saturday morning for at least five years.” The lawsuit states that the defendants are a “loose alliance of individuals” associated with the Church at the Rock in Brooklyn, Grace Baptist Church in Woodhaven, Bright Dawn Ministries in Brooklyn, and a group called Helpers of God’s Precious Infants. Other protesters with no church or organizational affiliation are also listed in the lawsuit. READ MORE
