WASHINGTON, D.C. – Pro-life groups hailed today’s 9-0 Supreme Court decision striking down a Massachusetts law that barred sidewalk counselors from standing within 35 feet of abortion facilities.
“The court is finally seeing through the real motivation behind these buffer zones,” said Dana Cody, president and executive director of Life Legal Defense Foundation. “It isn’t to protect anyone; it is to silence the truth about abortion – that it ends the lives of children and harms women. Roe made abortion legal, not safe.”
