Some things take a long time to fully develop, like marriage; other things take far too long to develop, like American justice. But justice delayed is still justice for the falsely accused.NOW v. Scheidler is now a landmark legal case, where abortion providers and supporters sought to use RICO anti-racketeering statutes to set new precedents discouraging pro-life activism.A 20-year legal siege has ended for Joseph Scheidler on June 8, with a judge's order dismissing a lawsuit against the American pro-life activist and several co-defendants.

Scheidler had become the only case the history of the US legal system in which appeals were heard by the US Supreme Court on three different occasions. In 2003 the pro-life activists won an 8-1 victory in the high court, and again in February 2006, after NOW raised a new appeal, the Supreme Court ordered the charges dismissed.
Just one day short of its 20th anniversary, the lawsuit was finally ended. Following the US Supreme Court directive, Judge David Coar entered a judgment in favor of the defendants.
