That prompts pro-life attorneys to say there is no need for the protest free area.

"The buffer zone is useless due to the non-participation of those enjoined and [abortion] clinic employees are desperate," says Dana Cody, Executive Director of the Life Legal Defense Foundation.

I'll just say this...abortion clinics would not be able to have a "protest free area" if it weren't for the constant threats of violence and actual murders and bombings that have occurred at abortion clinics. The pro-lifers shot themselves in the foot on that one.

Such an irony. "Constant threats of violence." Well, let's see, then: instead of cancelling the First Amendment, let's just proclaim a

Actual-Cold-Blooded-Murder-Free Zone

around the abortuaries?

Oh, wait... can't do that.

That would put them out of business.

Are you talking about the violence and murders inside the clinic or outside the clinic? Which one should be outlawed?

The pro-lifers shot themselves in the foot on that one.

I fear you're correct. Screaming "whore" and "murderer" at scared girls entering and leaving a Planned Parenthood building is not a good way to win the public relations battle on this issue. Mainstream pro-life groups are smarter than that, but the zealots do more harm than good.

Do you have any proof that there are constant threats of violence, etc.? Because there aren't. The fact is that there is more violence towards the pro-life demonstrators, than vice versa. Check the stats. Average houswives get manhandled by burly bouncers.

And regrettably there have been a very few murders and bombings. But the media protrays it as more common than it is. There was a lot more violence by Vietnam protestors and civil rights activists, but no one suggests their rights should have been curtailed. They were generally able to get away with illegal acts.

Just like some Jews were mean to Adolph Hitler when he was a child and so ALL Jews have themselves to blame for what Hitler did. Yeah, right. Give us a break. Free speech is free speech.

If there weren't "actual murders" occurring legally inside the so-called "clinics" every day, there wouldn't be any protesters to ban.
