That is quite the movement of goalposts. "Outside an abortion clinic" is by definition a public space. Inside my house is not a public space. Demonstrating in a public space should be protected as free speech.
- krapp 3y agoI think you moved the goalposts from making a broad argument about free speech to now a narrow argument about property rights. Now maybe try to address my actual point, which is that no rights are absolute and always need to be balanced in context against other rights and public safety.

Demonstrating doesn't include blocking a highway or not allowing entrance to such clinic. Not even touching a client or worker. But staying there? Yes of course it should be protected.
