NEW YORK — Two anti-abortion activists known for creating chaos when they visit New York were indicted Friday for blocking access to a lower Manhattan Planned Parenthood clinic, federal prosecutors said.
Bevelyn Beatty Williams and Edmee Chavannes surrendered in their home state of Tennessee to face charges that they tried to stop women from getting into the center, which provide abortions and other reproductive services.
The pair is accused of threatening patients at Manhattan health care facility on June 19 and 20, 2020. A source confirmed the clinic was a Planned Parenthood on Bleecker St.
