VICTORY -- Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act (FACE) is enacted. The Feminist Majority led the campaign to pass this landmark bill to protect clinics and clinic personnel from anti-abortion violence.


David Gunn, Jr., whose father was murdered by anti-abortion extremist Michael Griffin at a Pensacola clinic in March 1993, at press conference with Eleanor Smeal outside of White House signing ceremony for the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act.


Testifying at FACE oversight hearings in front of the House of Representatives Crime Subcommittee to urge vigorous enforcement of FACE are Linda Taggart, Clinic Administrator of the Ladies' Center of Pensacola; Susan Hill, President of the National Women's Health Organization; Sgt. Bill Walsh and Dr. George Klopfer.
