On April 11, 2019, lawyers from the Women’s Law Project and the law firm Cozen O’Connor filed an action against three anti-abortion extremists who regularly protest outside a healthcare facility that provides abortion care and healthcare for the LGBTQ community in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.
The action alleges numerous claims including violation of the federal Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) and trespass.
The defendants’ behavior includes pepper-spraying a patient in the face, obstructing the entrance to the facility’s parking lot, and hitting a clinic escort in the head. Defendants are John Dunkle, Anthony J. Sulpizio, and Mark Michael Bogunovich.
