Is it fair to say that you think that, in that type of instance, restraint of free speech is acceptable? Not in this situation. I don't know about hypotheticals. The argument as I recall was not about the right of peaceful protest. Rather it was about the right of protestors to keep citizens from exercising their constitutional right. Specfically, it was about the rights of women, who had a constitutional right to choose an abortion, to exercise that right. Blocking access to clinics endangered the exercise of that right.
