Opposing Groups Protest Outside Abortion Doctor's Clinic

BELLEVUE, Nebraska (CNN) -- Anti-abortion groups, led by Operation Rescue, and supporters of abortion rights rallied Saturday outside the clinic operated by LeRoy Carhart, one of the nation's few remaining doctors who perform late-term abortions. Carhart was best friends with George Tiller, one of the world's most well-known doctors performing abortions.
