Supreme Court Unanimously Rules Pro-Lifers Have Free Speech at Abortion Clinics In a unanimous decision today, the Supreme Court struck down a Massachusetts buffer zone law prohibiting pro-life free speech outside abortion clinics. The decision is a huge victory for pro-life sidewalk counselors who provide women with abortion alternatives. The decision strikes down a Massachusetts law that created a 35-foot “buffer zone” restricting pro-life advocates from speaking with people entering abortion facilities.
Saying the abortion buffer zone is “inconsistent with the First Amendment,” the Supreme Court ruled that that the buffer zone violated the First Amendment because it “restricts access to ‘public way[s]’ and ‘sidewalk[s],’ places that have traditionally been open for speech activities.” http://www.lifenews.com/2014/06/26/supreme-court-unanimously-rules-pro-lifers-have-free-speech-at-abortion-clinics/

Fantastic Video Shows Unborn Baby With Down Syndrome Pleading to His Mother Not to AbortRobert Fulghum is best known for his humongous best seller, “All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten: Uncommon Thoughts on Common Things.” I still re-read it every so often, along with Richard Carlson’s “Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff–and it’s all small stuff.”
But when I read Kathy Ostrowski’s wonderful “If They had a Voice: Down Syndrome and medically challenging prenatal diagnoses,” my first thought was of another Fulghum book written in 1999—“Words I wish I wrote: A Collection of Writing That Inspired My Ideas.” Here’s why. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/06/21/fantastic-video-shows-unborn-baby-with-down-syndrome-pleading-to-his-mother-not-to-abort/
