John Roberts----We thank you & SCOTUS---NO BUFFER ZONE AT HOBBY LOBBY

Last edited Sun Jul 6, 2014, 06:24 PM - Edit history (2)

So , based on the SCOTUS ruling on buffer zones at Planned Parenthood clinics , opponents of the Hobby Lobby decision can get "up close and personal" to supporters of Hobby Lobby--i.e. their customers.

Here's Justice Roberts take on this ---"At each of the three Planned Parenthood clinics where petitioners attempt to counsel patients, the zones carve out a significant portion of the adjacent public sidewalks, pushing petitioners well back from the clinics’ entrances and driveways," concluded Roberts in his opinion. "The zones thereby compromise petitioners’ ability to initiate the close, personal conversations that they view as essential to 'sidewalk counseling.'"

SOOOOOOOOO----if we could get a few clips of those ardent protesters at Planned Parenthood we could use them as instruction video for any demonstration we would like to make at Hobby Lobby-----

Except-- that I think moderation is the key here ---to behave with decorum---but let them that we are keen observers of those at the clinics

that I have seen. The sidewalk and parking lot are private property and you can be removed by police.

The days of having a public right a way in front of stores has died with main street.

Every HL store I have seen are located in malls/strip malls, etc. Closest you can get are the public sidewalks outside the mall.

Call them out for renting to women hating business. There are public sidewalks adjacent to most mall parking lots. Strategically placed protesters at all entries to the parking lots will get the message out about Hobby Lobby and the people who rent to them.
