Jury deliberations begin today in a closely watched abortion case in Portland, Oregon. Abortion rights activists are suing abortion opponents behind the Nuremberg Files website and posters titled “The Deadly Dozen” that they say encourage violence against abortion providers. An eight-person jury will decide the $200 million lawsuit. In yesterday’s closing arguments, defense lawyers likened their clients to civil rights defenders. Lawyers for abortion providers suggest the defendants are terrorists who use the site to threaten and intimidate. The site got national attention last fall after a New York doctor, Dr. Barnett Slepian, whose name was on the site, was shot and killed by a sniper in his home. Jurors heard from doctors whose names appear on the website and who testified they live in constant fear of being attacked. One of the doctors appeared in court wearing a bulletproof vest.
