The question has not been answered.........

The question is what needs the most protection

1. The right to freedom of speech

or

2. The right of an individual to be free of your speech

That was the question that should have been decided by the Supreme Court in regard to anti-abortion protesters, but I don't think it was asked.

The question should have been asked in the parameters of "when an individual is exercising their constitutional rights, do they have the right to not be verbally assaulted, and doesn't the state have the responsibility to shield them from being verbally assaulted as they attempt to exercise their constitutional right?"

I firmly believe in the right to free speech, but not at the expense of those partaking in their constitutional rights.
