Minister shows fetus at protest in Buffalo
The Associated Press
BUFFALO, N.Y. — Police arrested a clergyman yesterday for pushing a purported human fetus in the faces of abortion-rights activists as the group Operation Rescue opened its campaign to shut down women's clinics in Buffalo.
The Rev. Robert Schenck was charged with disorderly conduct for displaying the hand-size fetus and was cited for creating a physically offensive condition, said Angelo Alessandra, police chief of detectives.
"It made some people sick," Alessandra said.
At one point, the fetus was knocked out of the minister's hand and fell to the ground as activists on both sides of the abortion debate iostied each other.
Police turned the fetus over to a medical examiner to determine if it was real and whether it was entitled to a burial or should be disposed of as hazardous medical waste, Alessandra said.
Operation Rescue began mass demonstrations this week designed to close down four women's clinics in Buffalo. The clinics said that they were open and that all women scheduled to have abortions got in.
The group said it planned to besiege clinics in the predominantly Catholic city of Buffalo for two to four weeks. The campaign is patterned after last
summer's siege in Wichita that resulted in 2,600 arrests.
Similarly militant groups of abortion-rights activists said they would use force to keep the clinics open.
In Washington, President Bush's press secretary, Marlin Fitzwater, urged anti-abortion protesters in Buffalo not to break the law in any way. Bush, who has shifted his stance on abortion over the years, opposes abortion except in cases of rape, incest or endangerment to the mother's life.
Schenck's twin brother, Paul, was arrested on charges of trespassing and obstruction of justice when he got onto a police bus where officers had taken his brother, police said. The Schencks are Assembly of God ministers at a church in suburban Tonawanda.
Robert Schenck called to police from the bus window, "All that we ask is that she not be destroyed because we have been given custody of her for burial."
The Schencks and about 100 other anti-abortion demonstrators prayed, sang "Amazing Grace" and hold signs such as "Abortion Has Two Victims: One Dead, One Wounded" in a turnout at the Erie Medical Center clinic.
Chanting by another 100 abortion-rights activists who lined the front of the clinic often drowned out their opponents' prayers and songs.
