“It is a sad irony when a statute designed to prevent violence against women is used to prevent a pro-life schoolteacher from peacefully counseling women against the violence of abortion
Ft. Pierce, FL – Liberty Counsel filed a brief on behalf of a peaceful sidewalk counselor who was stopped from helping women on the public sidewalks around an abortion clinic in Ft. Pierce. James Thoma is a second grade teacher who—every Wednesday and Saturday, for over fifteen years—has peacefully counseled women entering and leaving the clinic regarding alternatives to abortion and care afterwards, providing them literature from a nearby pregnancy care center for free crisis counseling, ultrasounds, baby clothes, etc.
