Anti-Abortion Activist Flip Benham Calls His Stalking Conviction "Bogus"

Star-Telegram: Anti-abortion activist says he was wrongly targeted, by Franco Ordonez:

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- The Rev. Flip Benham, convicted Monday of stalking North Carolina doctors who perform abortions, says that he's being wrongly targeted and that authorities are trying to silence him from spreading the Gospel.

The director of Operation Save America called the Mecklenburg County court verdict "bogus" and a violation of free speech. He said it would not stop him from protesting at abortion clinics.

Benham, who co-founded Dallas Rescue and served as director of Operation Rescue's Dallas chapter in the early 1990s, was sentenced to two years' probation. . . .
