 Note the white crosses by the curb. (We have distorted the face of the protestor in this photograph so she is not recognizable.) |

 This sign faces the parking lot and obviously is intended for Dr. Wortman's staff. It reads: "Employees Protect Yourselves" and gives a web site address: ClinicWorker.com. The sign then lists items to report: Sexual Harassment, Income Tax Evasion, Medicaid Fraud, and Insurance Fraud |
 An anti-choice protestor photographs the Pro-Choice Escort who is taking pictures of the banners. It is common for anti-choice protestors to photograph or videotape staff and escorts. The protestors also have taken pictures of patients as well as the license plates of cars coming into the parking lot. There was an implied threat that these pictures may be sent to a web site created by Neal Horsley (who created the hideous Nuremberg Files web site). Pictures of people going to clinics that provide abortions are posted on this site. A June 4, 2001 Rochester Democrat and Chronicle story said this about Mary Melfi, a regular Saturday morning anti-abortion protestor: "Melfi said she hadn't decided whether to submit the Rochester pictures to Horsley, who recently sent out an e-mail requesting photographs for his site, which also includes images of aborted fetuses." |
