Court Denies Injunction but Keeps Alive Challenge to Abortion Buffer Zone Law
These abortion buffer zone laws are desperate efforts to prevent women from receiving information that could change their fateful decisions to end the life of their child
HARRISBURG, PA - A Pennsylvania federal district court denied an injunction to block an abortion buffer zone law but has ruled the lawsuit may continue. The case, Reilly v. City of Harrisburg, challenges a Harrisburg buffer zone law. Liberty Counsel filed a federal lawsuit against the city of Harrisburg because its ordinance created unconstitutional buffer zones on public sidewalks and public property 20 feet away from abortion clinic entrances, exits and driveways.
