US Supreme Court declines abortion clinic buffer zone challenge (Fox News)

The US Supreme Court declined to hear a legal challenge to an Illinois municipality’s buffer zone ordinance.

Coalition Life, an organization of pro-life sidewalk counselors, lodged the challenge against the Carbondale, Illinois, ordinance, which restricts free speech within 100 feet of an abortion clinic.

Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas argued that the Supreme Court should have heard the case, with Justice Thomas writing an eight-page dissent.
