Pro-lifer Joe Holland was recently arrested in Chicago for allegedly engaging in disorderly conduct. Video shows that an abortion clinic worker approached the peacefully praying Christian. This caused him to be arrested for violating the city’s abortion clinic bubble zone ordinance. The ordinance prohibits anyone from engaging in protest outside an abortion clinic within eight feet of a person without their consent.  

This is a clear violation of the First Amendment and the Third Circuit Court of Appeals has agreed. It struck down similar abortion clinic bubble zone restrictions in Pittsburgh. 

The charges against Joe Holland have been dropped, but the unconstitutional bubble zone ordinance remains. Because the city dropped the charges, Holland can’t legally challenge the constitutionality of the ordinance. This means peaceful pro-lifers can still be unjustly arrested under this illicit law.   

TAKE ACTION:

Help us pressure the city of Chicago to resend their unconstitutional bubble zone ordinance. Contact the Mayor of Chicago, Richard Delay, and demand that the city repeal this unconstitutional law.
