Well I am glad for this decision. I for one think most women going into said clinics could probably USE a good 45 seconds of accosting.

Wow dude didn't know that (different thing here in the uk) so yeah you are gonna get people screaming at everyone going in there.....
Should freedom of speech be so darn written in stone? when it will be used to try and shame women? I know many will say yes I should be able to scream 8 foot away from a girl whom goes in here that she is a whore.
Oh and btw who brought this up in court again? was it people who wanted to picket and scream at women or someone else?.
Nah sorry opened up a massive can of worms with this ruling it isn't going to do anything but harm.

My concern is... are anti-abortionists going to use this ruling as an excuse to commit violent acts against women and employees of the clinic? Safety of all involved is a concern.
I wonder how religious people would feel if every time they went to church, there was a group of spittle-laden atheists at the door, waving pictures of the spaghetti monster and screaming insulting things in their faces...

Yup, its disgusting behavior perpetrated by adults you claim they are representing and espousing religious ideals in support of their stance despite their actions being a anything but compassionate, kind or loving. It's a decidedly non Christian mindset in my opinion.

If that were the case the law as it was previous wouldn't have stopped them.
To your second point we already have the persecution of folks that support traditional marriage without even condemning the contrary while doing so! Losing jobs and contracts. Do you this this as viable social pressure against free speech?
So do you want to go ahead and say that ending a child's life early is a good and compassionate thing

Only 3% of total services are abortions. Man that makes it all so much better....such a low figure. Thank God for birth control. That figure could be so much higher. What a public service.

Perhaps women seeking abortions should start carrying guns and employ the threat of "stand your ground" when entering the clinics.

You should consider that this sounds like lunacy.
But I can see if you are compassionate enough to want to end a child's life early how you would be one up in your mind on the compassion of any anti abortion group.
And yes I can read. Only 3% of total services are abortions. Man that makes it all so much better....such a low figure. Thank God for birth control. That figure could be so much higher. What a public service.

Everyone has the right to self-expression.
Paul Hill Days: The Re-Enactment
In the summer of 2007, a group of white men reenacted the 1994 murder of an abortion provider and his bodyguard (and military veteran) in front of a small group, including children, in hopes of indoctrinating them into their violent, misogynistic ideology. They glorified the anti-choice terrorist as a martyr:
Paul Hill should have been given a parade. He should have been honored in our schools, honored from our pulpits, honored from our government institutions, honored with a key to the city. [Cheers] He should have been welcomed with it as a hero. Instead, he was arrested and thrown in jail.
