AMENDED ORDER AND PERMANENT INJUNCTION

ROBERT E. JONES, District Judge.

Plaintiffs, Dr. Robert Crist, Dr. Warren Hern, Dr. Elizabeth Newhall, Dr. James Newhall, Planned Parenthood of the Columbia/Willamette, Inc. and Portland Feminist Women's Health Center, doing business as All Women's Health Services (collectively "plaintiffs"), commenced this action seeking a permanent injunction, damages and other relief. The trial before the jury having been concluded, and the jury having found that defendants did issue true threats against plaintiffs, and this Court having found that plaintiffs are without an adequate remedy at law, the Court makes the following findings of fact and conclusions of law:

FINDINGS OF FACT

I. The Threats

A. The "Deadly Dozen" Poster

1. The Deadly Dozen poster, trial exhibit 1, is a true threat to bodily harm, assault, or kill one or more of the plaintiffs.

2. The Deadly Dozen poster was created by the American Coalition of Life Activists ("ACLA") and first published in or around Washington, D.C. on January 22, 1995. (Ex. 1; Tr. 1352, 1385)

3. Defendants Michael Bray, Andrew Burnett, David Crane, Michael Dodds, Joseph Foreman, C. Roy McMillan, Bruce Murch, Catherine Ramey, Dawn Stover, Donald Treshman and Charles Wysong attended the ACLA event where the Deadly Dozen poster was unveiled. (Answer of defendants American Coalition of Life Activists, Advocates for Life Ministries, Michael Bray, Andrew Burnett, David Crane, Timothy Dreste, C. Roy McMillan, Bruce Murch, Catherine Ramey, Dawn Stover and Charles Wysong ("ACLA Answer") ¶ 40; Tr. 1254, 1356, 1493-94) Defendant Dreste ratified the poster's release. (Tr. 1170, 2486) Defendant Advocates for Life Ministries ("ALM") republished the poster in its magazine Life Advocate. (Ex. 3) Defendant Murch republished the poster in his publication, Salt & Light. (Ex. 2) Defendants also republished the poster at later ACLA events.

4. The Deadly Dozen poster was unveiled at the event in blown-up form. (Tr. 1357)

5. The Deadly Dozen poster lists thirteen physicians. Three of the plaintiffs are specifically named with their place of residence: Dr. Elizabeth Newhall, Dr. James Newhall and Dr. Warren Hern. (ACLA Answer ¶ 41; Ex. 1; Tr. 1254-55)

6. In addition to their names and the city in which they reside, the Deadly Dozen poster lists the home address of Drs. James and Elizabeth Newhall. (ACLA Answer ¶ 41; Ex. 1; Tr. 1254-55)

7. The Deadly Dozen poster lists the name and home address of Dr. George Kabacy, a doctor who at the time provided abortions at plaintiff, Planned Parenthood of the Columbia/Willamette, Inc. ("Planned Parenthood"). (Ex. 1; Tr. 477)

8. Also listed on the Deadly Dozen poster is Dr. Joseph Booker of Jackson, Mississippi, who had been a target of ACLA protests during ACLA's first event in Jackson, Mississippi, in August 1994. (Ex. 1, Tr. 970-71)

9. Also listed on the Deadly Dozen poster is the name and address of Dr. George Tiller of Kansas. Dr. Tiller was shot in both arms in August 1993 by Shelley Shannon of Grants Pass, Oregon. Shannon had been to Wichita before, and had protested Dr. Tiller, along with defendants Andrew Burnett and Catherine Ramey. (Ex. 51) At the time Shannon shot Dr. Tiller, she had in her possession copies of Life Advocate magazine (published by defendant ALM) with information about Dr. Tiller. (Tr. 1080) Among those who signed a petition supporting the acquittal of Shannon were defendants ALM, Bray, Burnett, Dodds and McMillan. (Ex. 52; Tr. 1491) Defendant Dawn Stover publicly supported Shannon on national television. (Tr. 2456) In his October 1993 editorial for Life Advocate, defendant Burnett stated "Shelley was a courageous women [sic] that we were very proud to be associated with." (Ex. 51)

10. The day after the Deadly Dozen poster was released, the Federal Bureau of Investigation contacted the doctors named on the list, notified them of their need to take safety measures and offered 24-hour personal protection of the U.S. Marshal Service for the doctors and their families. (Tr. 568-69) Calls from the U.S. Marshals and other law enforcement followed. (Tr. 236, 624) Plaintiffs heeded these warnings.

B. The Poster of Dr. Robert Crist

11. The Poster of Dr. Robert Crist, trial exhibit 5, is a true threat to bodily harm, assault or kill one or more of the plaintiffs.

12. The Poster of Dr. Robert Crist displays a photograph of Dr. Crist, and his home and business addresses. (ACLA Answer ¶ 48b; Ex. 5; Tr. 1257)

13. The Poster of Dr. Crist was created and first published by ACLA during its event in St. Louis, Missouri in August 1995. (ACLA Answer ¶ 48b; Ex. 5; Tr. 608, 899, 1257)

14. Defendants Andrew Burnett, David Crane, Timothy Dreste, C. Roy McMillan, Catherine Ramey, Dawn Stover and Charles Wysong attended the ACLA event where the Poster of Dr. Crist was unveiled. The other defendants assisted in planning the event and the poster and/or ratified its release. (ACLA Answer ¶ 47c; Tr. 1228, 1257, 1494-95)

15. Immediately after the poster was released, Dr. Crist was informed by the St. Louis police that he should take additional security precautions. (Tr. 1104) Dr. Crist followed that advice. (Tr. 1110)

C. The Nuremberg Files

16. The "Nuremberg Files," trial exhibits 7 and 9, are a true threat to bodily harm, assault or kill one or more of the plaintiffs.

17. The Nuremberg Files list the names and contain personal information on abortion providers, clinic employees and clinic owners, law enforcement officials involved in securing access to abortion services, judges, politicians, and abortion rights supporters. (Ex. 7, Tr. 2283)

18. Dr. Robert Crist appears in the Nuremberg Files. (Exs. 7A, 7B, 7C; Tr. 1116-17)

19. Dr. Warren Hern appears in the Nuremberg Files. (Exs.7A, 7B, 7C) A photograph of Dr. Warren Hern appears in the Nuremberg Files along with the address and telephone numbers of his medical offices. (Exs. 7A, 7E; Tr. 2296)

20. Dr. Elizabeth Newhall appears in the Nuremberg Files. (Exs. 7A, 7B, 7C; Tr. 286)

21. Dr. James Newhall appears in the Nuremberg Files. (Exs.7A, 7B, 7C)

22. At one time, defendants possessed a hard copy version of the Nuremberg Files, including one of Dr. James Newhall. (Ex. 9) These files have since been destroyed by defendants and/or their agents during the course of this lawsuit and were therefore not produced to plaintiffs.

23. The names of several doctors and employees of plaintiff Planned Parenthood appear in the Nuremberg Files: Dr. George Kabacy (also named on the Deadly Dozen poster), Dr. Mark Nichols (Planned Parenthood's medical director), Dr. Gary Prohaska (a former chair of Planned Parenthood's medical committee), and Allie Stickney (Planned Parenthood's former executive director). (Exs. 7A, 7B, 7C; Tr. 529)

24. The (now former) executive director of plaintiff Portland Feminist Women's Health Center ("Portland Feminist"), Jude Hanzo, is listed and featured in the Nuremberg Files. (Ex. 7A, 7D) The hard copy version of this file has since been destroyed by defendants and/or their agents during the course of this lawsuit and was therefore not produced to plaintiffs.

25. The names of doctors and clinic workers and security personnel who have been killed during attacks on abortion clinics are listed in the Nuremberg Files with strikes through their names. (Ex. 7A; Tr. 2258) Those wounded, such as Dr. Tiller, are shaded in gray. (Ex. 7A; Tr. 2258)

26. The FBI contacted plaintiffs to notify them that they appear in the Nuremberg Files and advised them to take safety precautions. (Ex. 28; Tr. 286-87, 1523)

27. The Nuremberg Files were unveiled in hard copy form by ACLA, with the assistance of Paul deParrie, at ACLA's January 1996 event in Washington, D.C. (Exs. 80, 81, 82; Tr. 1362-63)

28. Defendants Burnett and Crane organized the project with deParrie prior to the event. (Tr. 2815) The other defendants approved of the project and agreed to its commission.

29. Defendants Bray, Burnett, Crane, Dodds, Dreste and Wysong attended the January 1996 ACLA event at which the Nuremberg Files were unveiled. (Tr. 608, 970, 1361, 1495, 2053, 2729) Defendant Murch planned to attend, but at the last minute was unable to attend. (Tr. 2604-05)

30. At the January 1996 ACLA event, a "box" of Nuremberg Files was displayed. (Tr. 2066)

31. The Nuremberg File of Dr. Prohaska was displayed at the January 1996 ACLA Event. (Ex. 4)

32. Soon after the January 1996 ACLA event, Neal Horsley received hard copy Nuremberg Files from Paul deParrie. (Ex. 4; Tr. 424, 2245) Horsley received two shipments of at least 22 hard copy files to be posted on the Internet. (Tr. 2329) These files included the files of Dr. Prohaska and Ms. Hanzo. The defendants have not identified by name the other hard copy files that existed but have since been destroyed.

33. The cover letter on the first shipment of files bore ACLA's name and P.O. box and summarized the Nuremberg Files project. (Tr. 2331) Horsley copied that information when he placed the Nuremberg Files on the Internet.

34. ACLA's name appeared on the Nuremberg Files Internet website in its initial format. (Ex. 7B)

35. The Nuremberg Files website makes it clear that any information kept by ACLA and/or Neal Horsley will be kept away from legal authorities. The website declares: "the evidence collected will be forwarded to several secure locations so that pro-abortion forces will not be able to destroy the evidence and prevent its future use." (Ex. 7B) This statement remained on later versions of the website. (Ex. 7A)

36. After Horsley published the ACLA Nuremberg Files on the Internet, Horsley shipped the hard copy files to an undisclosed location at the request of Paul deParrie. (Tr. 2371)

37. None of the defendants produced any Nuremberg Files during the course of discovery in this lawsuit, despite the fact that they were in defendants possession after this lawsuit was filed in October 1995 and were called for by discovery requests. Neither Horsley nor deParrie produced any Nuremberg Files pursuant to the subpoenas served on them. (Tr. 2374, 2875-76)

II. Defendants Released Their Threats into a Known Atmosphere of Violence Against Abortion Providers

38. On March 10, 1993, Dr. David Gunn was shot and killed outside of the Pensacola, Florida clinic where he performed abortions. (ACLA Answer ¶ 55a; Tr. 1258, 2474) Michael Griffin has been convicted of this murder.

39. Prior to his murder, Dr. Gunn's name, photograph and other personal identifying information appeared on WANTED posters. (ACLA Answer ¶ 53; Exs. 11, 12, 13; Tr. 939, 1257, 1497)

40. By January 1995, plaintiffs were aware of this murder and the posters that preceded it. (Exs. 133, 144; Tr. 365, 1508)

41. By January 1995, defendants knew of the murder of Dr. David Gunn and of the posters that preceded his death. (Exs. 57, 133, 144; Tr. 1508)

42. Defendants Michael Bray, Andrew Burnett, David Crane, Michael Dodds, Joseph Foreman, C. Roy McMillan, Catherine Ramey and Dawn Stover signed a "Defensive Action" petition circulated by Paul Hill declaring the murder of Dr. Gunn justifiable and calling for Griffin's acquittal. (Ex. 41A-41D)

43. Defendant Donald Treshman issued a press release on the morning Dr. Gunn was murdered, announcing a fund supporting Michael Griffin. (Ex. 40)

44. Within days of the murder of Dr. Gunn, defendant Timothy Dreste stood outside of an abortion clinic where Dr. Yogendra Shah performed abortions and held up a sign that read: "Dr. Shah, do you feel under the Gunn?" (Ex. 149)

45. On August 21, 1993, Dr. George Patterson, an abortion provider, was shot and killed in Mobile, Alabama. (Foreman Answer ¶ 58; Tr. 356, 1508)

46. Prior to Dr. Patterson's murder, his name, physical description and address were published on a "WANTED" poster. (ACLA Answer ¶ 56a; Ex. 14; Tr. 356, 1258, 1508)

47. Defendants knew of the murder of Dr. Patterson. (Ex. 51)

48. Plaintiffs knew of the murder of Dr. Patterson and the poster that preceded it. (Tr. 357, 1197, 1508)

On July 29, 1994, Dr. John Bayard Britton, the doctor who had replaced Dr. Gunn and provided abortions at the same clinic where Dr. Gunn was murdered, was shot and killed along with his volunteer escort, James Barrett, while entering another Pensacola clinic. (ACLA Answer ¶ 68a; Ex. 60; Tr. 1132, 1259, 2503) Mrs. Barrett, James Barrett's wife, was wounded in the attack. (ACLA Answer ¶ 68a; Tr. 761, 1259)

(ACLA Answer ¶ 66; Exs. 15, 16, 17; Tr. 771-75, 1258) These posters contained the phrase "Crimes Against Humanity," also found on the Deadly Dozen poster, the Poster of Dr. Robert Crist and the Nuremberg Files. (Exs. 1, 5, 7, 15, 16, 17)

51. Prior to these murders, defendants Burnett and Ramey visited John Burt in Pensacola, Florida. Burt had created the poster of Dr. Gunn and was one of the persons who had also prepared the posters of Dr. Britton along with Paul Hill. They discussed "wanted" posters at this meeting. (Exs. 57, 144; Tr. 785-88) Hill and Burt were videotaped taking photographs for the poster of Dr. Britton. (Ex. 109; Tr. 763-72)

52. Paul Hill has been convicted of the murder of Dr. Britton and Mr. Barrett, and the attempted murder of Mrs. Barrett. (Exs. 60, 109; Tr. 763-64; 770-76, 786)

53. By January 1995, defendants were aware of the murder of Dr. Britton and the posters that preceded it. (Exs. 57, 58, 60, 144; Tr. 947, 958)

54. By January 1995, plaintiffs were aware of the murder of Dr. Britton and the posters that preceded it. (Ex. 144; Tr. 241, 648-49, 1142)

55. Defendants Bray, Burnett, Crane, McMillan, Ramey and Stover signed a petition calling for the acquittal of Paul Hill. (ACLA Answer ¶ 67; Ex. 61; Tr. 1259) The petition was identical to that circulated by Hill in support of Michael Griffin. (Ex. 41)

56. Defendant McMillan, three months after the murder of Dr. Britton, called Paul Hill "a patriot," and a "wonderful man" who had "fired the first shots in this war." (Tr. 791)

57. ALM and its editor-in-chief, Paul deParrie, publicly praised Paul Hill after he was convicted of murder and sentenced to death and encouraged others to follow his lead: "The man's a hero. May his tribe increase." (Ex. 65)

58. These murders were not isolated events. Violence in the anti-abortion movement continued, as chronicled in defendant ALM's magazine Life Advocate.

59. In August 1993, just two days prior to the murder of Dr. Patterson, Dr. George Tiller was shot in both arms by Shelley Shannon. (Tr. 1079) Shelley Shannon was a close friend and associate of the defendants. (Tr. 874, 1079-81) Shannon also later pleaded guilty to arson and butyric acid attacks on eight abortion facilities, including Portland Feminist's Eugene, Oregon clinic. (ACLA Answer ¶ 62a; Tr. 1079, 1261)

60. In November 1994, in Vancouver, Canada, Dr. Garson Romalis, an abortion provider, was shot by a sniper with a high-powered rifle at close range. He was having breakfast in his home at the time. (Tr. 637)

61. By January 1995, plaintiffs were aware of the sniper shooting of Dr. Romalis. (Tr. 637-38)

62. By January 1995, defendants were aware of the shooting as well. Defendant Treshman praised the shooting of Dr. Romalis on national television, stating "I would say that that was certainly the superb tactic. It was certainly far better than anything that was seen in the States because the shooting was done in such a way that the perpetrator got away. I would think more abortionists would quit as a result of it." (Ex. 113)

63. Soon thereafter, on December 30, 1994, John Salvi murdered two clinic workers and wounded five others at two clinics in Brookline, Massachusetts. One of the clinics in Brookline was a Planned Parenthood clinic. (Tr. 290-91, 407)

64. Immediately following the shootings in Massachusetts, Salvi drove to Norfolk, Virginia and fired shots into the windows of the Hillcrest Clinic in Norfolk. (Tr. 407, 1339)

65. Defendant David Crane was present outside of the Hillcrest Clinic on the morning John Salvi fired the shots. (Tr. 1340-41)

66. Defendant Michael Bray had been convicted and served four years in federal prison for conspiracy to bomb seven abortion facilities including the Hillcrest Clinic. (Ex. 744; Tr. 1260)

67. More physicians who perform abortions in Canada have been shot by snipers since the sniper shooting of Dr. Romalis.

68. In January 1998, a bomb in Birmingham, Alabama killed an off-duty police officer and maimed a nurse who worked at the clinic.

69. Defendant McMillan referred to the Birmingham bombing as "a righteous act." (Ex. 114) Defendant Bray likewise defended this violence on national television. (Ex. 112)

70. In October 1998, in his home outside of Buffalo, New York, Dr. Barnett Slepian, a doctor who performed abortions, was shot and killed by a sniper. (Tr. 636-37)

71. Dr. Slepian's name is crossed out on the Nuremberg Files website. (Ex. 7A; Tr. 2258-59)

72. Violence against abortion providers has continued through today.

III. The Defendants

A. American Coalition of Life Activists ("ACLA")

73. ACLA is a coalition of people and organizations that held its first official event in August 1994 in Jackson, Mississippi. ACLA was formed in 1994 following a meeting in Chicago in April 1994 during which there was a split in the pro-life movement over the use of force. Defendants, many of whom had signed the Defensive Action petition approving the murder of Dr. Gunn, refused to commit to nonviolence. Because they advocated the use of "force" and justifiable homicide, they were no longer allowed to be leaders of Operation Rescue and therefore agreed to form a new organization that became ACLA. (ACLA Answer ¶ 17c; Tr. 837, 1246, 1474, 1561-64)

74. ACLA's position on violence against abortion providers is clear. In the words of ACLA co-founder and regional director and ALM executive director, defendant Andrew Burnett, "if someone was to condemn any violence against abortion, they probably wouldn't have felt comfortable working with us." (Tr. 829-30)

75. ACLA was founded by defendants Andrew Burnett, Joseph Foreman and C. Roy McMillan. (ACLA Answer ¶¶ 20a, 24a, 25a; Tr. 1247-48, 1251-52)

81. Defendant Donald Treshman was a regional director of ACLA for the Southwest region during the relevant time, and remains an active member of ACLA. (ACLA Answer ¶ 31a; Tr. 1253)

82. Defendant Charles Wysong is the Regional Director of ACLA for the Southeast region. (ACLA Answer ¶ 32a; Tr. 1253)

83. Defendant Joseph Foreman drafted the ACLA Constitution. (Tr. 2203)

86. In August 1995, ACLA unveiled the Poster of Dr. Robert Crist at its event in St. Louis. (ACLA Answer ¶ 48b; Ex. 5; Tr. 1257)

87. At the St. Louis event, ACLA also unveiled and circulated posters of other abortion providers and reproductive health facilities. (Exs. 6, 18, 19, 409; Tr. 1173)

88. Prior to its St. Louis event, ACLA prepared to issue a "Contract on the American Abortion Industry." (Ex. 76)

89. In January 1996, ACLA unveiled the Nuremberg Files, which were subsequently posted on the Internet. (Exs. 80, 81; Tr. 1180, 1361, 1556, 1560)

90. ACLA republished the Deadly Dozen poster at its events in August 1995 and January 1996, and included it in its mailings (Tr. 1180, 1361, 2445)

91. ACLA uses intimidation as a means of interfering with the provision of reproductive health services.

92. Defendant American Coalition of Life Activists ("ACLA") violated or conspired to violate FACE. (Verdict at 3)

93. ACLA is an enterprise that engaged in a pattern of racketeering activity under RICO.

94. ACLA injured each plaintiff in the amount of compensatory damages awarded by the jury. (Verdict at 3)

B. Advocates for Life Ministries ("ALM").

95. ALM was involved in the formation of ACLA, coordinates its Northwest region, and is an active ACLA member. (ACLA Answer ¶ 18b; Tr. 838, 1247)

100. Life Advocate's editor-in-chief is Paul deParrie. (Tr. 1051, 2511)

101. ALM published defendant Michael Bray's book, A Time to Kill. (Exs. 63, 744; Tr. 936-37)

102. According to ALM, defendant Bray's book "shows the connection between the [justifiable homicide] position and clinic destruction and the shootings of abortionists." (Ex. 63)

103. In Life Advocate, ALM advertises and sells defendant Bray's "EXECUTE Murderers, Abortionists" bumper stickers. (Exs. 10, 66)

104. Subscribers have asked to be removed from Life Advocate's mailing list because of the magazine's endorsement of the use of force. (Exs. 51, 66, 67, 68; Tr. 1090)

105. ALM republished the Deadly Dozen poster in the March 1995 issue of Life Advocate. (Ex. 3)

106. ALM has featured Michael Griffin, Paul Hill and Shelley Shannon on the cover of Life Advocate magazine. (Exs. 51, 52, 60; Tr. 916)

107. Shelley Shannon had in her possession several issues of Life Advocate featuring articles and photographs of Dr. George Tiller when she shot him in August 1993. (Ex. 45, 47; Tr. 1079-80) Shannon had the magazines so she could identify Dr. Tiller, his vehicle and his clinic. (Tr. 1080)

110. The September 1993 Life Advocate noted that an "unwanted poster" of Dr. Britton was in the process of being prepared by Paul Hill and others, and described the activities of Hill and others in identifying and surveilling Dr. Britton. (Ex. 57)

451. Horsley shipped the hard copy files off to an undisclosed location at the request of deParrie, who did not want them discovered in this or any other litigation. "I think that these things could be seized from people's houses, under various kinds of court orders and stuff, and then it would be gone, and we wouldn't have any recourse ... I don't want to know where it is, and I am just hoping that it will resurface if we ever get the chance to have [Nuremberg] trials." (Tr. 2891-92)

452. In sending the files to this undisclosed location, Horsley understood that "the best thing to do with them was to — to send them somewhere where nobody knew where they were, including me." (Tr. 2309) Horsley remained confused about why he should send away material he had just posted on the Internet, but complied anyway: "I was thinking that I was cooperating with deParrie's idea. Even though I thought it was a little bit dufus, but you know, I am with the program." (Tr. 2312)

453. Horsley claims to have forgotten any information about where he sent the files. "I purposely basically filed it away back there somewhere, you know, because I — the whole idea was that this is something that probably is best not to be remembered." (Tr. 2373) DeParrie denied that he asked Horsley to discard the files, but I find that testimony — as well as the testimony of the other defendants about the location of the Nuremberg Files — to be not credible.

V. Adequacy of Remedy

454. As a result of the defendants' issuance of these threats, plaintiffs have undertaken a variety of security measures in order to ensure their safety.

455. Based upon the evidence admitted at trial, the Court finds that plaintiffs remain threatened by the defendants' threats, and thus have no adequate remedy at law.

CONCLUSIONS OF LAW

456. From my independent review of the evidence produced at trial, from which I have made the above findings of fact, I conclude that plaintiffs have proven with clear and convincing evidence that each defendant, acting independently and as a co-conspirator, prepared, published and disseminated the Deadly Dozen poster, the Poster of Dr. Robert Crist and the Nuremberg Files.

457. I find that each defendant acted with specific intent and malice in a blatant and illegal communication of true threats to kill, assault or do bodily harm to each of the plaintiffs and with the specific intent to interfere with or intimidate the plaintiffs from engaging in legal medical practices and procedures. The term "threaten" as used hereafter incorporates this definition.

458. I totally reject the defendants' attempts to justify their actions as an expression of opinion or as a legitimate and lawful exercise of free speech in order to dissuade the plaintiffs from providing abortion services.

459. The Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act ("FACE"), 18 U.S.C. § 248, provides that in an action brought by a "person aggrieved" by threats of force, "the court may award appropriate relief, including temporary, preliminary, permanent injunctive relief and compensatory and punitive damages, as well as costs of suit and reasonable fees for attorneys. ..." 18 U.S.C. § 248(c)(1)(B). In its verdict, the jury found each defendant liable under FACE and awarded each plaintiff compensatory and punitive damages against each defendant.

460. FACE provides this Court with express statutory authority for injunctive relief, and the substantial evidence of continuing harm to plaintiffs from defendants' unlawful threats provides clear factual and equitable bases for issuance of an injunction. In light of that authority, the general equitable authority of the Court, and the Court's findings concerning the grave threat to each plaintiff's security and the likelihood of continuing harm from each defendant, on February 25, 1999, I issued a permanent injunction enjoining defendants from continuing their unlawful threats that place plaintiffs' lives in peril, and binding the defendants' agents, and those persons in active concert or participation with them. I now enter this amended order and permanent injunction, nunc pro tunc February 25, 1999. See Fed.R.Civ.P. 65(d).

461. Plaintiffs are entitled to permanent injunctive relief because they lack an adequate remedy at law. See Continental Airlines, Inc. v. Intra Brokers, Inc., 24 F.3d 1099, 1104 (9th Cir.1994). Each day, plaintiffs' lives and security are endangered because of defendants' unlawful threats against them. Monetary relief alone cannot address that harm. This Court has, therefore, the obligation to fashion equitable relief to protect the plaintiffs rights.

462. In deciding whether to grant permanent injunctive relief, the Court considers the balance of hardships or equities-weighing on one hand the harm to plaintiffs if the Court declines to prohibit the defendants' threats, and on the other hand the harm to defendants from an injunction ordering them to cease these activities. See, e.g., Continental Airlines, 24 F.3d at 1105; Laerdal, 73 F.3d at 857. I find that the balance of hardships weighs overwhelmingly in plaintiffs' favor. In the absence of an injunction, plaintiffs will continue to live as they did before the trial: clad in bulletproof vests and disguises, borrowing cars and varying routes to avoid detection, and constantly in fear of the bodily harm with which they have been threatened.

463. By contrast, the prohibition of unlawful activities imposes no burden on defendants. Defendants may protest abortion using legitimate, lawful means.

464. The scope and terms of an injunction are determined by the extent of the underlying violation. See Califano v. Yamasaki, 442 U.S. 682, 702, 99 S. Ct. 2545, 61 L. Ed. 2d 176 (1979). This Court possesses great discretion in crafting an injunction and may frame it to "bar future violations likely to occur." Transgo, Inc. v. Ajac Transmission Parts Corp., 768 F.2d 1001, 1021-22 (9th Cir.1985) (citation omitted).

465. The law requires a higher level of scrutiny and proof for an injunction involving speech than for an award of damages for violation of a statute. See Madsen v. Women's Health Center, 512 U.S. 753, 114 S. Ct. 2516, 129 L. Ed. 2d 593 (1994). I find the actions of the defendants in preparing, publishing and disseminating these true threats objectively and subjectively^[1] were not protected speech under the First Amendment. Therefore, the Court issues the following permanent injunction against each defendant, their agents and those in active concert or participation with them, and specifically against Paul DeParrie, an employee and agent of defendant Advocates for Life Ministries, who conspired with Neal Horsley of Carrollton, Georgia, to provide the specific information for the Nuremberg Files and who thereafter obstructed justice by destroying or assisting in concealing the materials he provided to Horsley to convert into true threats on his web site.

NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, ADJUDGED, AND DECREED AS FOLLOWS:

PERMANENT INJUNCTION

1.

2. Defendants and their agents and all individuals in active concert or participation with any of them who receive actual notice of this Order and Permanent Injunction or the attached "Notice" shall promptly submit to the custody of the Court all materials in their possession, custody or control that are not in compliance with the provisions of this Permanent Injunction, except that counsel for the defendants may retain one copy of any such materials that were included in the Record of this Court.

5. This Court shall retain jurisdiction of this action for all purposes, including without limitation, all proceedings involving the interpretation, enforcement or amendment of this Order and Permanent Injunction.

NOTES

[1] For purposes of this Order and Preliminary Injunction, I consider a person to make a "true threat" when the person makes a statement that, in context, a reasonable listener would interpret as communicating a serious expression of an intent to inflict or cause serious harm on or to the listener (objective); and the speaker intended that the statement be taken as a threat that would serve to place the listener in fear for his or her personal safety, regardless of whether the speaker actually intended to carry out the threat (subjective).

[2] A "mirror web site" within the meaning of this Order means a web site created by an independent party who takes the content from a web site and reproduces it on his or her own computer ("the web server") and locates it at a different Internet address.
