Scotus: Buffer Zone

The Supreme Court heard arguments today in a case challenging limits on abortion protesters. The law requires demonstrators to stay fifteen feet away from people entering and leaving clinics where abortions are performed. NPR's Nina Totenberg reports the U-S Solicitor General defended the law as necessary to prevent intimidation of clinic patients. Protesters argued their free-speech rights are being violated.
