What is an abortion clinic “buffer zone” or “bubble zone”?
A small number of states and municipalities have enacted measures intended to limit the activity of pro-life advocates in the immediate vicinity of abortion facilities. The constitutionality of these laws, commonly known as “bubble zones” or “buffer zones,” has been challenged by pro-life advocates, and some have been struck down by the U.S. Supreme Court.
It should be noted that these kinds of measures are uncommon, but if you live in an area subject to one, contact the Pro-Life Action League at info@prolifeaction.org for guidance on how to keep your pro-life outreach at abortion facilities as effective as possible under your local restrictions.
