Police arrested 48 protesters, including two priests, who stormed an Upland, Pa., abortion clinic on a self-described “rescue mission.” Two sheriff’s deputies and four other persons were injured, authorities said, after some of a group of about 150 demonstrators climbed a fire escape to invade the Reproductive Health and Counseling Center. The clinic has been the target of repeated protests and in 1984 won a court injunction against further demonstrations.
