In the war waged between abortion-rights activists and anti-abortion protestors, the front lines are often in front of abortion clinics or medical facilities that provide abortions. Since the landmark Roe v. Wade decision in 1973, legal abortion in the United States has been one of the single most debated laws in recent memory. The issue, to many, is both personal and political. When issues of morality are put aside, the debate turns to anti-abortion protestors who historically picket abortion providers and harass pregnant women. While many forms of protest are allowed in this country, these protests have special circumstances to consider. For the purposes of this analysis, we will assume that the majority of abortion protests take place in front of abortion clinics.
