Supremes turn away from prolife rights to free speech.
Found this via Breitbart;
WASHINGTON (AP) - The Supreme Court has rejected a challenge to a Massachusetts law that creates a protest-free zone around the entrances and driveways of abortion clinics.
The justices offered no comment Monday in turning down an appeal from anti-abortion protesters who object to the state-imposed protest-free zone of 35 feet outside clinic entrances. Abortion opponents complained that the law violates their free speech rights and forces them into the street, where they've nearly been hit by cars while trying to dissuade pregnant women from entering the clinics.
State Attorney General Martha Coakley, recently defeated in her U.S. Senate bid, has defended the law as enhancing public safety while still giving protesters the right to express themselves.
IMO we'll soon have to decide whether to be nice, quiet little prolifers who obey all restrictions placed upon us or to be a royal pain in the ass to anyone who we deal with.
22 years in the USN taught me how to be a real pain in the ass whenever necessary. I think that training is still there.

Martin Luther King and thousands with him were not afraid of being arrested and persecuted. Are we ready for that yet? Will we have mass demonstrations where we are willing to be jailed? That is the answer that the country is leaving us with.

I am seeing the rights of Catholics and Christians in general eroding to the point that I wonder if we will be allowed to attend our own churches anymore without having to ask the atheists if it's ok with them first.
I'll lay odds that it won't be long before burning down a church will not be considered a hate-crime. For all I know, that's already true.
Next step, name change from The United States of America to the United Socialists of Planned Parenthood.
My inner sergeant is having some problems accepting the environment we find ourselves in.
I keep having the urge to use command voice on some folks who would think it was some sort of assault.
It's obvious to me that were finaly gonna have to listen to Mr. Jeffersons dictum about the tree of liberty!
RobK, ready or not, here it comes.
Arby, yeah, thats what I'm talking about!
Pops, thanks for the support.
Mary Ellen, only those folk belong to the Church of I'm Okay/You're Okay will be accepted into society. All others will be wrapped in chains and thrown into the outer darkness.
IR, channel that inner sargeant. We're gonna need him!
