WICHITA, Kan. (AP) _ A federal magistrate judge has set a trial
date for next year in the government's lawsuit against an abortion
opponent accused of sending a threatening letter to a Wichita
doctor who was training to offer abortion services.
U.S. Magistrate Judge Kenneth Gale scheduled the trial against
anti-abortion activist Angel Dillard for Feb. 5, 2013. His order on
Thursday also sets a timeline for the parties to try to settle the
case.
The Valley Center woman told Dr. Mila Means in January that she
would have to check under her car every day because someone might
place an explosive under it.
No abortions have been openly done in Wichita since Dr. George
Tiller was shot and killed by an abortion opponent in 2009.
