We also have tremendous support from our local police departments. so i was in touch with them today, and we know we will have increased law enforcement presence at our health centers, but thats not really a long-term solution. you dont want to solve this problem by having police there constantly when women are coming in for health care. what were doing is reviewing the laws that are already on the books that we might be able to use, as well as what new laws we might be able to craft. we have gr...

Massachusetts law could possibly be struck down. whenever a state restricts speech on the public sidewalk, it has a high burden. some members of the court think that the court has met it. justice kagan said theres no way to know whos going to block doors. just as they arrive to clinics in a fragile state. but several of the justices said that they had problems with the buffer zone because number one, they think its too big. number two, that its not neutral about who gets to express an opinion. j...
