From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Planned Parenthood v. American Coalition of Life Activists (ACLA), also known as the Nuremberg Files case, is a landmark legal case under the law of the United States treating the issue of whether or not a published threat, namely in the form of a "wanted poster" or a written "hit list" published in writing in hard copy or online, constitutes a "true threat" or "free speech". This question was posed in the context of objection to violent, radical pro-life activism, further making the case a landmark decision in respect of the abortion debate and Reproductive Rights Law.

In the background of this case is the belief of radical pro-life activists that the murder of physicians who perform abortions is justifiable homicide.
