The Democrats’ Brilliant Idea for How to Stop Unnecessary Abortion Clinic Regulations

20. They upheld Colorado's bubble law.

Given this court, anything is possible, but this court did allow Colorado's bubble, which is a variation of this law.

In Colorado, no one is allowed to sidewalk counsel within 8 feet of any person within 100 feet of ANY medical establishment. Which means the antis can'T get within 100 feet of most doors, and often more (because the outer ring podiatrist counts as a medical office, giving the inner ring clinic that extra 60 or 70 feet.) But it also means I can't go accost parents headed into the homeopathic practitioner's office, or carrying their infant into the chiropractor's office, or warn people going into a dental office that still uses mercury amalgam. And this is a good thing, because it treats all medical offices as equals. In the Boston decision, one of the things mentioned was the singling out of abortion providers versus everyone else, thus setting up a special class. As long as no medical facility is considered a special class, it should stand.

Then again... Roberts court.
