If you ask anti-abortion activist Neal Horsley, he's just a journalist on the heels of a hot story. The National Press Club, however, would probably not let Horsley in.

"If we knew that somebody was driving down the road with an occupant that was fixing to be in a fatal accident, wouldn't we cover it as news?" he told CNN's Greta Van Susteren last week. "That's what happens to a woman who goes to an abortion clinic. Her occupant is going to be killed before she leaves."

Horsley uses little subtlety in presenting his version of the "news." Those visiting his Web site, The Nuremberg Files, should prepare to be provoked.

His Web site is a "Who's Who" of pro-abortion providers, doctors, clinic employees, public officials and celebrities who have expressed support for a woman's right to choose. The names are categorized into three coded categories: killed (line through), injured (in gray) and working (in black).

In a crudely styled format featuring dripping blood animations, Horsley aims to shock even the most ardent abortion supporters with graphic, stomach-twisting images of bloody, mangled, dead fetuses. There is also a state-by-state archive of live action shots outside abortion clinics.

Horsley is hardly a typical scribe. He's on a mission to expose abortion as much as possible in anticipation of the day when "the tide of this nation's opinion turns against the wanton slaughter of God's children (as it surely will)" and abortion providers are tried for "crimes against humanity," the Web site states.

"One of the great tragedies of the Nuremberg trials of Nazis after World War II was that complete information and documented evidence had not been collected so many war criminals went free or were only found guilty of minor crimes," the site states.

In 1999, "The Nuremberg Files" became embroiled in a suit filed by Portland area abortion providers against several abortion protesters for violation of federal clinic protection and anti-racketeering laws. The suit netted abortion clinics $109 million in damages, but a three-judge appeals court panel overturned the verdict, ruling that sites like Horsley's didn't constitute a direct threat to abortion providers.

Other anti-abortion sites seem to be careful to keep some distance from Horsley's site. About.com's Pro-Life Views, for example, prominently denies any association.

"The Nuremberg Files and Pro-Life Views take very different approaches to how to deal with those who commit abortions. The Nuremberg Files focuses on preparing dossiers, with the hope of some day bringing abortion participants to trial for crimes against humanity. Pro-Life Views focuses on prayer, conversion and healing," the site states.

Yet, in some cases, names on the list link directly to information on Pro-Life Views, which also argues that Horsley's site provides "no endorsement of violence anywhere."

Warren Hern, a prominent doctor based in Boulder, Colo., who served as an advisor on family planning in the Nixon administration, is of another opinion. He is one of Horsley's targets and one of the so-called "dirty dozen" list of 13 doctors, 12 male and one female, targeted by anti-abortion activists in 1995. That list served to some extent as a predecessor for "The Nuremberg Files" and prompted then-attorney general Janet Reno to assign federal marshals to all its targets.

Hern considers Horsley's site a "tool of terrorism" whose "purpose is to kill."

"The mafia has the decency to keep its hit list private," he said in a telephone interview. "It's the antithesis of American democracy."

Horsley's controversial views have gotten him in trouble with companies who've hosted his site. He has been booted by two Internet service providers for his site's controversial content and is now forced to host his site on his own computers. He even sued his first provider, MindSpring, for $1 million for breach of contract and for allegedly destroying hundreds of his e-mails after cutting him off in early 1999. The company has an expressed policy against hosting sites that advocate violence.
