This clip is from last September, but still is an eye opener.

Abortion clinics were delivered a setback by the Supreme Courts ruling in a fight that has lasted 2 decades. The court rules that federal laws pertaining to extortion and racketeering could not be used in conjunction with abortion protesters.

The Courts intention was not to create an offense which could  e used in a free manner, allowing a law to be called into play randomly. This is true in regards to the Hobbs Act, now infamous.

This they felt was dealt with in 1994 by the creation of a law: Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act. This sets the guidelines for abortion clinic protesting.

Activists felt that if this were not struck down by the court, that this law would be invoked at any protest, effectivel shutting down anyone opposing  establishment. Protesters and civil rights unions are pleased with the outcome.  By the wording of the law picketing for better wages would be a form of extortion. were it not strck down by the supreme court could we really ever feel free?
