Who won the war in Wichita? Neither side is ready to retreat
Kansas & Burge Unions
The protests and blockades of three clinics by members of Operation Rescue exhausted police, federal marshals and municipal court workers.
WICHITA — Both sides are claiming victory in seven weeks of anti-abortion demonstrations that divided the city and returned the abortion issue to the national spotlight.
"What Operation Rescue did was make it very clear to people what kind of havoc and terror that fanaticism and zealotry can create," said Peggy Jarman, spokeswoman for the Prosecution. "I moved middle-of-the road people in the pro-choice camp. In the long term, that's very positive."
Authorities made 2,650 arrests of more than 1,500 people on charges ranging from assaulting federal marshal and police to trespassing and loitering.
Operation Rescue began demonstrations at the three Wichita abortion clinics July 15. The group targeted Wichita because one clinic is among only a few nationwide that perform late-term abortions. Two of the clinics obtained federal court orders against interference by protesters.

A federal judge Friday ordered abortion protest leaders to get out of town and stay out. Their departures left the protest in local hands.
For Operation Rescue, the most important thing was that at least 31 women decided against having abortions, said Keith Tucci of Charleston, S.C., executive director of the national anti-abortion group.
Clinic patients and employees faced shouting and hostile crowds when they came and went, and the protesters' defiance of a court order angered a federal judge.
Rescuing 31 babies sentenced to death is worth whatever personal or monetary price it cost, Tucci said.
Jarman was skeptical that 31 women had changed their minds about abortions. She said that the counseling process at the clinics would have weeded them out anyway.
"If indeed it's true, which I doubt, where are these women?" Jarman said. "If these people are so ecstatic, and so happy and so saved, where are they? They would make marvelous spokespeople, even if you had to protect their identities."
Operation Rescue leaders said publicly introducing any of the 31 women would invade their privacy.
Tucci used Operation Rescue galvanized local alley members to action
"We reinvigorated the pro-life movement here and everywhere," Tucci said before leaving town Friday. "Rescue groups have sprung up across the nation."
U. S. District Judge Patrick F. Kelly did not view Operation Rescu as a noble movement. He called its leaders hypocrites, its supporters "hapless for persuasion" and all protesters that were arrested lawbreakers.
When protest leaders defied his injunction guaranteeing patients and staff access to two clinics, the judge said he had been naïve to treat Operation Rescue members as law-abiding citizens with respect for legitimate authority.
As of Aug. 14, city and county costs for police overtime, equipment and jail expenses had exceeded $350,000.

Kent Pekarek, U.S. marshal for Kansas, said that the protests cost his agency more than $300,000 in salaries, overtime and other expenses.
"We certainly hope it's time to stand down," he said. "But until we see what Operation Rescue's actual next moves are, we're not going to stand down. We'll be watching this on a day-to-day basis."
Pekarek is not confident that the siege is over, despite Friday's departure of the leaders.
Tucci said the group plans to target dozens of cities for a weeklong series of protests in November. Five or six cities are being considered for another Wichita-like event, he said.
Catholic attempt to sway vote miffs Lutheran group
The Associated Press
ORLANDO, Fla. — The nation's largest Lutheran denomination yesterday rejected a move to condemn all abortions except to save the mother's life. Some delegates chafed over a Catholic cardinal's letter aimed at swaying their vote.
In floor debate, the assembly of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America gave scant attention to New York Roman Catholic Cardinal John O'Connor's missive, which urged the ELCA to take a bold stand to protect the unborn.
Members of the 5.2-million member body also refused to declare that life begins at conception, and they kept working to shape a less stringent antiabortion policy.
But in interviews, some delegates objected to the letter's timing and called it unprecedented for a Catholic plea to be interjected into debate by Lutherans, named for 16th-century German Protestants. Timothy Luther, who led the break from the Catholic church.
"I know of no paralle," said the Rev. William Rusch, the denomination's ecumenical officer. He said such consultation properly could have come earlier and doubted it would have much effect at this point.
O'Connor made his appeal in a letter to St. Paul, Minn., delegate Paul R. Hashergen, one of a group of Minnesota clergy and lay people who had offered the motion to condemn abortion except to save a mother's life.
Fund drives by state Regents schools to make up for inadequate financing
The Associated Press
LAWRENCE — Fund drives by the state's six public universities are necessary because state government isn't adequately financing higher education, a state official says.
"There is growing awareness that the dimensions that make a good university great are oftentimes supported by funds outside the capacity for them," said Stanley Kopik, executive director of the Kansas Board of Regents.
Regents have jurisdiction over six state universities; the University of Kansas and Kansas State, Wichita State and Fort Hays State universities.
All six are conducting or have recently completed private fund drives generating at least $465 million, endowment of officials say.
And the universities plan to raise another $200 million.
Fort Hays President Edward Hammond said, "It is not reasonable to assume that state funding will provide adequate resources for our university, or for any state university for that matter."
During the past four years, KU has had the most success in raising
The goal of Campaign Kansas later was raised to $177 million, and it now has netted $210 million in gifts and pledges.
As much as $225 million might be raised by the time the drive is completed next year, Kansas University Endowment Association officials say.
He said $2.6 million in long-term planned gifts also had been committed. The planned giving goal is $25 million.
Arthur Loub, president of the Kansas State University Foundation, said $80 million has been donated to the ESS Center as the goal of the Essential Edge campaign.
At Wichita State, the goal is a bit more ambitious, with a final target of $300 million.
In 1986, the school initiated a three-year campaign to raise $100 million. That amount was reached in two years.
Since then, phases II and III were launched for $100 million each. The entire $300 million was to be raised by 1996.
To date, $130 million, less than expected, has been donated or placed
At Fort Hays State, Larry Miller, vice president of institutional advancement, said $12.5 million has been raised of a planned $20 million. The drive was publicly announced in April.
Grady Smoot, vice president for development at the Pittsburgh State University Foundation, said Pittsburgh State completed Campaign for Distinction in 1990 after raising $10 million.
The goal, reached four years after the drive was initiated, is 8.9 million
At Emporia State, officials expect to
at A drive with a goal of about 16
km/h.
Koplik said the heads of state universities are required to devote more of their time to fund-raising, and less to academic matters, than in the past.
The Board of Regents encourages university presidents and the chancellor to engage with students.
"It understands that fund drives arouse and encourage university support and spirit," Koplik said. "But we're careful that money we seek from external sources is consistent with the programs and the mission of our universities."
