Just wanted to suggest you check out this blog post by Robin Marty in Think Progress. Entitled “Abortion Is Still Legal — But Soon, The Supreme Court May Make It Much Harder To Get One,” the article describes our situation outside the EMW clinic as the example of just how bad it can get. Worth reading.

I escort at a clinic in D.C, and antis can follow patients right up to the door. Its very aggravating.
Yep. It sure is. Be nice to have a buffer zone, wouldn’t it? Thanks, sandl1878.
Thank you for sharing. That was a very good article. I will be extremely disappointed if SCOTUS overturns buffer zones. Freedom of speech is not freedom to harass, stalk, touch or “sidewalk counsel.” They are free to talk at and yell at patients from outside the buffer zone and patients are free to walk over to the protesters if they want to hear what they have to say or take information. The antis know their tactics don’t work so if they can’t bully and coerce they will have even fewer “saved babies.”
I’m glad you liked the article, KyBorn. And you’re right, I don’t think freedom of speech should include “freed to harass, stalk, touch or “sidewalk counsel,” either! Thanks for commenting!
