Federal judge in Pennsylvania orders abortion foe to remove alleged threats from Web site

PHILADELPHIA: A U.S. federal judge has ordered an anti-
abortion activist to remove Web site postings that
authorities said exhorted readers to kill an abortion
provider by shooting her in the head.

District Court Judge Thomas Golden granted an injunction
Thursday seeking the removal of postings on Web pages
maintained by John Dunkle. The injunction, sought by
prosecutors in August, also bans him from publishing
similar messages containing names, addresses or
photographs of health clinic staff members.

Prosecutors said one posting targeted a former clinician
for the Philadelphia Women's Center, and that she later
stopped providing reproductive health services because
she feared for her life.

Dunkle said Thursday that the postings had been removed.
