Outside a former abortion clinic at 827 Webster St. on Saturday morning, about 30 people waited for ceremonies to rededicate the building for pro-life causes.

Pastor Wendell Brane of Trinity Evangelical Church stepped onto the sidewalk and motioned his arm at the ground.

“There’s an injunction here,” he announced. “You guys are going to have to move.” He smiled, and the crowd laughed.

“It’s my injunction now,” responded Bryan Brown, walking up to greet him.

In 1990, U.S. District Judge William Lee issued an injunction that kept pro-life demonstrators from moving closer than 25 feet to the clinic, according to News-Sentinel archives. The address had been a battleground for pro-life and pro-choice causes in the late 1980s into the 1990s. Brane and Brown led demonstrations and civil disobedience there. the rest
