High Court Declines to Hear Challenge to Buffer Zones Around Abortion Clinics

WASHINGTON -- The Supreme Court on Monday declined to consider the constitutionality of state laws that regulate speech and activities within a buffer zone around abortion clinics.

Without comment, justices let stand a lower court ruling upholding a Massachusetts law that was passed after the 1994 fatal shooting of two abortion clinic workers. Anti-abortion protesters say the state-mandated zones have unfairly become a place where only abortion rights rhetoric can be uttered.

The law, which creates a six-foot buffer zone around patients within an 18-foot radius of a clinic entrance, prohibits anyone from approaching without their consent for the purpose of passing leaflets or "engaging in oral protest, education or counseling."

The law created an exemption for clinic workers so long as they're "acting within the scope of their employment."

State lawmakers began pushing for a buffer zone after John Salvi walked into two Boston-area clinics and opened fire, killing two receptionists and wounding five others. He killed himself in prison in 1996.

Massachusetts Citizens for Life, an anti-abortion group, had argued the law denies protection to women and their unborn children. Women considering whether to have abortions benefit by having information distributed to them outside clinics, the group said.

WHAT?!?! Their argument against this anti-terrorist law, which is used to protect people from being gunned down by lunatics, is that it "denies protection to women"?!?!?! Yeesh! I would sure rather be protected from bullets! I would think that an organization called "Citizens For Life" would not want people to be shot and murdered for no reason! And, quite frankly, I would also love to be protected from these wackos and their words! Having an abortion is probably the most difficult decision a woman will ever have to make and these scumbags want to denigrate these people! Absolutely sickening!
