Well, from what I know of the situation, which isn't a whole lot, some of the abortion protestors were getting out of hand and doing things like getting right in peoples faces in threatening a manner and trying to prevent them from lawfully entering the clinic. That's going too far. That is interferring with the rights of others (which the guy quietly eating lunch wearing a Peace tee-shirt wasn't) in society to live their lives in freedom. So, the courts might have been warrented in protecting other people's rights by setting up protest zones. While still protecting anti-abortion protestors right to protest, just in a way that doesn't interfere with others engaged in lawful activities. It's called being civilized. I believe in FREE SPEECH, but I also believe in being civilized about it.
