Clinic escorts for the Summit Women's Abortion Center
A Detroit pro-life counselor is taking exception to a court ruling against him.
According to Tom Brejcha of the Thomas More Society, the court ruling that requires Chris Coatney to stay at least 100 feet away from the Summit Women's Center in Detroit stems from an incident in which the abortion clinic manager followed the pro-lifer to a service station before she sought a protective order and lied in her testimony as she claimed Coatney was the one who stalked her.
Tom Brejcha (TMS)"The transcript shows that the abortion clinic proprietor actually said under oath... 'Judge, he has these signs. And you can't see; he might, for all I know, have been holding a gun underneath one of the signs,'" the attorney reports.
But though the claims are "absolutely outrageous" and "purely hypothetical," the court went along with what Brejcha contends is a lie.
"This is not a man who uses guns," the Thomas More Society attorney assures. "He uses his religious faith in his zeal for the gospel to try and persuade people to do the right thing and save their babies' lives."
Meanwhile, Coatney says he has video evidence that shows the clinic workers were stalking him, so Brejcha's group is looking into legal avenues to challenge the court's current ruling.
