For those of you that are in Guilford Co....
Recently in Greensboro, an antiabortion protester from Triad Coalition for Life and Sidewalk Advocates for Life intentionally drove his car into clinic escorts, hitting one of the clinic volunteer escorts. Police were called out but chose not to file any charges, leaving the escort to take legal action on her own. Charges have been filed but the protester has only been charged with Assault with a Deadly Weapon; he has not been charged for anything related to violating the Federal FACE act or a North Carolina General Statute that protects access to healthcare clinics (General Statute 14-277.4).
The Guilford County District Attorney, Avery Crump, is in charge of this case. We need the DA to consider all of the details of this case and consider charges related to the violation of NC General Statute 14-277.4. In addition to the Assault with a Deadly Weapon charge, the DA should consider not just banning him from the clinic property but within 100 feet of the edge of the property, as he ran his car into patient escorts who were standing just off-property to guide cars to the clinic. She also should consider that Triad Coalition for Life and Sidewalk Advocates for Life, organizations that train and coordinate the protesters, may bear some responsibility for the environment they’ve created outside of the clinic and for the behavior of their own volunteers.
