Historical Note
Wesleyan Clinic Escorts is a group that trains and organizes students to escort patients past anti-abortion protesters at women's clinics in Connecticut, primarily at Summit Women's Center in Bridgeport, CT. The group was founded by Wesleyan student Jessica Fondy in 1991 when she discovered that Summit was being picketed by protesters. The group was initially a subsidiary of Students for Reproductive Choice, but as interest in SRC dropped, Wesleyan Clinic Escorts became a separate entity. As of spring 2008, Wesleyan Clinic Escorts is still in existence.
