In The Courts
  Operation Rescue v. National Organization for Women, 537 U.S. 808, 123 S. Ct. 58 (2002).
 
On February 26, 2003, the Supreme Court of the United States ruled that the use of the federal Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) statute - a law designed to combat drug dealers and organized crime - could not be used against the pro-life movement. The Supreme Court forcefully rejected the argument that pro-life demonstrators were racketeers engaged in extortion. The decision removes a cloud that has been hanging over the pro-life movement for 15 years.
