A divided federal appeals court has denied pro-life campaigner Lauren Handy’s appeal of a lower court’s finding that her actions at a Washington abortion clinic protest constituted a “crime of violence.”

Ms. Handy and her co-defendants—who are facing up to 11 years in prison, three years of supervised release, and a fine of up to $350,000—may appeal the decision to the Supreme Court.
