The walkers were informed that the pro-life shirts are a form of political protest. If the walkers didn't comply with the request to desist, they could be punished with a $10,000 fine and a year in jail. Is there some ordinance that prohibits any protesting on the bridge? Wouldn't surprise me if there was, to prevent protesters from blocking it. - If so, it sounds like they are not singled out for discrimination.

If there is, it must be enforced equally, and there must be a strict, compelling governmental purpose for having it. My guess is that there is an ordinance, but the bridge officers like to selectively enforce it - only against groups that they know won't raise a violent fuss.

Do they stop all the cars with pro-choice bumper stickers?
