Subject: Immoral statist filth: Legislative leaders file bill to counter buffer zone ruling Tue Jul 15, 2014 2:16 am
Two and a half weeks after the US Supreme Court struck down Massachusetts’s buffer zone law, the state’s top elected officials are rallying around legislation aimed at limiting harassment and intimidation outside abortion clinics.
The bill gives the police power to disperse a group of two or more people impeding access to clinics. It also gives the attorney general the authority to seek fines and compensatory damages against protesters who break the law.
