There are buffer zones for protests that happen near polling places and funerals for service women and men. This is not unheard of because we have done this before. The zones give people a safe place to practice their 1st amendment rights, while also protecting the rights of others. These buffer zones DO NOT infringe upon anyone's right of freedom of speech and they will protect innocent women, and probably some men, too, from being harassed, attacked, or even murdered.

The only reason the "pro-lifers" want the buffer zones gone is so they can get close enough to harass women by shoving those damn fetus pics in their faces, or grab their legs (like the wife of one poster above), and physically try to stop them from going in, or try to force them to listen to their fuck-up "counseling", or worse physically attack them ('cause hey, they're already gonna kill their babies anyways, so why not? )

But anyway, I just heard that on TRMS and thought it could be useful.
