Matt Bowman, an ADF attorney, told LifeNews.com that pro-life advocates “shouldn’t be penalized for expressing their beliefs.”
“Exercising your First Amendment rights is not a crime. The government has no right to harass and threaten citizens for exercising their First Amendment rights in public,” he said.
Bowman said city officials were wrong to ask the pro-life advocates to “request permission before they exercise their First Amendment rights on a public sidewalk” and he said he hoped those involved “will now be free to express their views without fear of government intimidation and censorship.”
