Roberts probably thinks abortion clinics can just levy a tax and everything will be good.

I used to say that our Founding Fathers would be rolling over in their graves if they knew about free-speech “buffer zones”. Good call Supremes.

The justices were unanimous Thursday that extending a buffer zone 35 feet from clinic entrances violates the First Amendment rights of protesters.Even the Court's left wing couldn't deny the obvious.

I was referring to the content in the article about Roberts suggesting other remedies to deal with protesters.
You don’t even have to hit the link to see that.

I said that to a flaming lib friend of my lib brother-in-law. If she was for abortion, she needed to post-birth abort herself or she was only a poser.
