Which is NOT the same thing as displaying video images taken without the
permission of the people shown in those videos. Try doing that, and you'll
soon find yourself running afoul of privacy laws in many jurisdictions...and
since this is planned for the Internet, a person shown on one of these
webcams could probably successfully sue for violation of privacy even if no
law addressing Internet and/or video "peeping Toms" exists in the victim's
own jurisdiction...the very nature of the Internet means that it IS
available in jurisdictions where such anti-electronic-peeping-Tom laws DO
exist...

Whose paying for the webcams, and the rent for wherever these webcams will
be set up...presumably these cams will NOT be set up directly ON the
abortion clinic property, else they could be easily removed as it would be
an issue of trespassing on private property.

Bullshit. It violates privacy.
I could set up a webcam pointing into Gary Condit's bedroom and argue that I
m doing so for political reasons and argue First Amendment rights...but the
fact is, I'd be violating Condit's right to privacy, a right that has been
upheld in the courts.

CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list. Proselytizing propagandic
screeds are unwelcomed. Substance—not soap-boxing—please! These are
sordid matters and 'conspiracy theory'—with its many half-truths, mis-
directions and outright frauds—is used politically by different groups with
major and minor effects spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought.
That being said, CTRLgives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and
always suggests to readers; be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no
credence to Holocaust denial and nazi's need not apply.
Let us please be civil and as always, Caveat Lector.
