Per ChatGPT:

States with FACE-like Protections:
California: Prohibits obstructing access to clinics, making threats toward clinic staff or patients, and damaging clinic property.
New York: Enforces laws against obstructing clinic entrances, making threats, and damaging property.
Washington: Bans obstructing access to clinics, making threats, and property damage.
Maine: Prohibits obstructing clinic entrances and harassment by telephone.
Maryland: Enforces laws against obstructing clinic access.
Minnesota: Prohibits obstructing clinic entrances.
Montana: Enforces laws against obstructing clinic access.
Nevada: Prohibits obstructing clinic entrances.
North Carolina: Bans obstructing clinic access, making threats, and weapon possession during demonstrations outside clinics.
Oregon: Prohibits obstructing clinic entrances and damaging clinic property.
Wisconsin: Enforces laws against making threats toward clinic staff or patients.

These state laws complement the federal FACE Act by addressing specific local issues and providing additional enforcement options to protect individuals seeking reproductive health services.


I don't know if it's exhaustive, but if so, it's awfully short, and I don't see my State on it. Also, I AM SOOOOO FUCKING PISSED RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
