Of course the buffer zone is for the “children”

Via The Boston Globe

Exactly 35 feet from the entrance to the Planned Parenthood on Commonwealth Avenue, Eric Anthony paced, handing out antiabortion fliers to anyone who would take one.

Ruth Schiavone was there too, straddling a line painted on the ground, alongside several men praying the rosary.

“If you’re the father of that child, save that child,” Schiavone pleaded with a young man heading to the door of the health clinic. The man did not stop.

Schiavone then appealed to a woman who was passing, “That’s a precious child . . . every life is valuable, protect it.”

Under a 2007 state law, Schiavone, Anthony, and their fellow protesters are kept 35 feet from the entrance to the Boston clinic and other abortion providers — a “buffer zone” meant to shield patients and staff from harassment while allowing the protesters to communicate their message.
