LINCOLN — Abortions have become harder to get in Nebraska since a longtime doctor retired.

The late-March departure of Dr. C.J. LaBenz left Planned Parenthood of the Heartland without a doctor to do abortions regularly at its Omaha and Lincoln clinics.

The organization responded by flying in a Massachusetts-based physician to provide the services on a part-time basis.

It also cut the number of days that its clinics offer abortions from a total of eight per month to five.

1. When we lived in Lincoln from 1994-2000 the anti-choice atmosphere

was oppressive and very intimidating. One of the docs in Lincoln
who provided abortion services lived just down the street from us.
The anti-choice protesters didn't confine themselves to demonstrating
outside Planned Parenthood; they were on the sidewalk outside his home.
They followed his wife to work and demonstrated outside her workplace,
which eventually got her fired. They demonstrated on Sunday morning
--complete with huge graphic signs of aborted fetuses--outside
the church to which he belonged.

Talk about obnoxious, persistent, threatening and intimidating people
determined to make women live their lives according to THEIR values.
Nothing but a$$holes dedicated to imposing their particular brand
of theocracy on everyone. Extremely hateful people.

I took my Bible down one Sunday to read to them Numbers 5:11-31 (an abortion ritual given by
Moses to his people to ensure that a husband--who suspected his wife of infidelity--wouldn't be saddled
with raising a child that wasn't his). Their leader
told his followers--mostly women--not to talk to me because I was the 'devil'.
I guess they were all so brainwashed they couldn't appreciate the irony of their 'leader' telling them
to ignore a Bible story.

And everything they did demonstrating was considered 'legal'.
