Pro-lifer Joe Holland was recently arrested for allegedly engaging in disorderly conduct. But a video of the alleged disturbance shows Joe was peacefully standing and praying outside of a Planned Parenthood in Chicago. An abortion clinic worker approached the praying Christian and this caused him to be arrested for violating the city’s abortion clinic bubble zone ordinance.

The ordinance prohibits anyone from passing out literature, displaying a sign, or engaging in protest, education or counseling outside an abortion clinic within eight feet of a person without their consent. But this is a clear violation of the First Amendment and the Third Circuit Court of Appeals agreed. It struck down similar abortion clinic bubble zone restrictions in Pittsburgh. 

Joe is asking the courts to rule the Chicago ordinance unconstitutional, too. His next court date is Tuesday, August 2^nd.

TAKE ACTION:

Help us stand for the right to peacefully pray and speak out against to the killing of innocent children. Contact the Mayor of Chicago, Richard Delay, and demand that the city repeal this unconstitutional law.
