Aurora, Ill. March 25, 2010—After a years-long dispute over the First Amendment rights of protesters, the Pro-Life Action League has reached a settlement with the City of Aurora. A win for pro-lifers, the settlement recognizes and safeguards the rights of protesters while promising comprehensive protection for citizens who wish to speak out for life in front of one of the nation’s largest abortion facilities.
“This long-awaited settlement ensures that pro-life activists’ peaceful outreach to abortion-bound mothers can proceed without issue, and eliminates the ambiguity that has plagued the police response to pro-life protests at Aurora Planned Parenthood,” said Eric Scheidler, executive director of the Pro-Life Action League and organizer of Fox Valley Families Against Planned Parenthood. “It also demonstrates that there is no need to silence or limit protesters with a ‘bubble zone’ like the one the city of Chicago enacted late last year.” Read past the fold to see the full agreement
