A federal appeals court ruled in favor of two pro-life groups in Louisville, Kentucky, who filed a lawsuit after the city erected “buffer zones” to prevent pro-life groups from praying or demonstrating near abortion clinics.
In May 2021, the Louisville City Council passed an ordinance that created 10-foot-wide “buffer zones” outside of healthcare facilities, with abortion clinics also falling under this ordinance, according to the Courier Journal. The judges agreed with the Kentucky Right to Life (KRL) and Sisters for Life (SL) organizations who argued that their First Amendment rights were being stripped as a result of the city’s buffer zones prohibiting them from even praying outside the EMW Abortion clinic in Louisville.
The majority opinion, written by Judge Rebecca Grady Jennings, argued that KRL and SL faced “irreparable Harm” from the ordinance and stated their case was likely to succeed on the merits in other courts.
