Officials create a no-protest zone around Planned Parenthood

EVERETT — The city has been setting up a fence barrier around Planned Parenthood in north Everett, separating protesters opposed to abortion and counter-protesters who aim to protect the patients and staff from harassment.

Enforced by Everett Police Department officers, the “time-place-manner restrictions” for weekly Wednesday and monthly Saturday gatherings are meant to keep the peace and support First Amendment rights, city officials said. Doing so created a no-protester zone around the health clinic and its adjacent alley and sidewalk. These kinds of restrictions are allowed by federal law and legal precedent.

Planned Parenthood is on 32nd Street, between Colby and Hoyt avenues. A deputy city attorney and Everett police captain said events outside the clinic were becoming a public safety concern and spurred the city to act.

“Basically we are trying to keep the two groups separated from each other and in a location where there is minimal impact of other uses of the area,” Everett deputy city attorney Ramsey Ramerman said.
