Neb. resident goes to jail for blocking abortion protester

[Omaha Steve]

I live a little over a mile from the clinic. I've seen this disgusting truck there many weekends. For the record, I used to be a volunteer escort at Doctor Orr's clinic in Omaha.

BELLEVUE, Neb. (AP) - Police arrest a man fed up with repeat appearances by an abortion protester in his Bellevue neighborhood.

Larry Spurgeon says he, his neighbors and their children had been subjected to a truck bearing graphic pictures of an aborted fetus riding through the neighborhood for about an hour Tuesday.

After the truck's 23rd trip though the neighborhood, Spurgeon lay down in the street to block it. Spurgeon was arrested, but his neighbors supported his move and collected money to help pay for bail.

The driver of the truck, Rescue of the Heartland director Larry Donlan, says children should see the images. Donlan says he plans to continue driving the truck through the neighborhood, where a nurse who assists with abortions lives.

If that's the case, Spurgeon says, he'll block the truck again.

1. K&R Good for Spurgeon!

These wackos are allowed to harass an entire neighborhood and it needs to stop.

2. Wonder if Larry Donlan thinks children should see pictures of Bush's torture (the ones that still

haven't been released yet) and of the butchered kids of Iraq?

3. I asked a similar question to one of these graphic abortion protesters

She gave me a mystified look and moved on.

4. he should drive a truck with those pictures through donlan's

neighborhood.

5. Maybe people should start driving trucks through Donlan's neighborhood.

I don't see why more than one side can't play this game.

8. Gotta ask. Is that picture for real? Was it taken at one of the TEA parties?

[Demeter]

6. Perhaps the City Has a Nuisance Ordinance They Can Employ?

or maybe they ought to think about getting one....

[Donald Ian Rankin]

7. And yet the right wing make no end of fuss about images of naked adult bodies.

The double standard is striking.

14. Maybe a complaint about child porn...

11. Nice! A moving paintball target!

Don't they have a 'cruising' ordinance in that town?

Seems like it's time that the neighbors invaded the next city council meeting and demand one.
