Three anti-abortion activists face jail time after being convicted of trespassing at the Focus on the Family's campus last year.

The activists were at the group's Colorado Springs campus protesting Focus on the Family's founder James Dobson's presidential endorsement of former Republican Sen. John McCain.

Pastor Bob Enyart from Denver Bible Church, his brother Brian, and Kenneth Scott were convicted Friday in Colorado Springs municipal court. They face up to 90 days in jail and a $500 fine.

They were delivering a letter to the group's office last fall, objecting to Dobson's support for McCain, who they thought was not sufficiently anti-abortion. Police and security officers say the Enyarts and Scott refused to leave the office reception area.

I Don't care what the woman down the street does or does not do. More people need to be like that.

Dan - not as near amusing as watching people who define ideology and present arguments who affect the rest of us based on a book written by a the greatest salesman of all time. I do not tell you that you cannot worship, so don't tell anyone else what they can and cannot do.

I am pro-life all the way, I am a "Right for Life" Terrorist (Bush's White house declared Right for Life a terrorist organization after 9/11, yet he was so Pro-life himself. ) but I don't like these overzealous punks who make our cause into a sideshow freak act. After the bubble law, our right to free speech was gagged. Oh and KKTV, we are PRO LIFE not Anti-Abortion, people like you who word us with negative connotation are part of the reason we are persecuted for trying to save lives.

"Be Prepared" is Good Motto for Storm Coverage
Over in the KKTV 11 Weather Center, the radar's showing the snow moving in. Chief Meteorologist Brian Bledsoe says this storm has the potential to bring the most snow we've seen in 5 and 1/2 years, so it is "all hands on deck" and "batten down the hatches", as the newsroom makes its own preparations for this Groundhog Day Storm.
