Hugh Gaughan got in trouble with authorities for including as part of his protest an audio recording of a 9-1-1 call from an abortionist during a procedure with complications occurring. The charges against the pro-lifer were eventually dropped -- but his attorney says it was necessary to file legal action against the City of Cleveland because of the "overbroad and vague" ordinances used to arrest Gaughan in the first place.
A pro-life activist in Cleveland is continuing his appeal to the Sixth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in a case challenging his arrests outside an abortion clinic. Hugh Gaughan was arrested twice for playing an audiotape recording of a 9-1-1 call from the clinic where he was protesting, and cited for violation of Cleveland's sound device and noise ordinances.
The recording was of a 9-1-1 call made by Martin Ruddock, the owner of the Center for Women's Health, during an abortion procedure on a 30-year-old woman with complications occurring. "I just can't stop the bleeding," Ruddock is heard to say on the tape. "I can't see what I'm doing, and I want her out of here." Gaughan says he played the recording outside the clinic to educate women about the life-threatening dangers associated with abortion.
