Protectors of the Code · The Christmas Day Abortion Clinic Bombing

On Christmas Day in 1984 Matthew Goldsby and James Simmons bombed the Ladies' Center, an abortion clinic in Pensacola, Florida, as "a birthday present for Jesus," in the words of Kaye Wiggins, Goldsby's fianceé. Arrested quickly, the three of them and Simmons' wife Kathy were soon on trial. The defense team believed the country was going to put an end to abortion either by government fiat or by popular dissent, perhaps triggered by the decision of the jury.

*Protectors of the Code* is their story, recounted with great insight and in riveting detail by E. Michael Jones, observer at the trial and many events relating thereto. It's a searing analysis of an event that captured the attention of the nation and demonstrated the fault lines in American society.
