The Supreme Court has struck down a Massachusetts law establishing a "buffer zone" around abortion clinics, defining an area in which anti-choice protesters may not harass women who visit clinics. An important Metafilter post by Anotherpanacea points up the urgent need for more clinic escorts to help women through the gauntlet (I used to do clinic defense in Toronto's Morgantaler Clinic, which was later bombed by anti-choice terrorists).
The anti-choice campaign actively attempts to deceive women who are seeking abortion, using fraudulent ads for fake abortion clinics to lure women into "counseling" sessions that consist of shaming, religious lectures, and junk-science disinformation about abortion. (Incidentally, the Supreme Court's own buffer zone is much, much larger than the one provided for in the Massachusetts law).
