Warning: Readers may find some of these photos disturbing. I debated on the drive home if I would include them and/or edit them, but ultimately decided that readers here deserve an unfettered lens.
People from at least 17 states converged on Bellevue, Neb. on Friday and Saturday, Aug. 28 and 29. Some came to protest a clinic owned by Dr. LeRoy Carhart, a physician whose practice includes abortion services. Others, still emotional over the murder of Kansas-based Dr. George Tiller, came to protect and support Carhart’s clinic. (I provided additional information about the build-up and history of the demonstrations in a post I made on Friday.)
While in Nebraska, I interviewed several Iowans who traveled there for the demonstrations. The article with those interviews, as well as additional photos, is being prepared for The Iowa Independent.
Here are some images from Bellevue:
