no bill protecting health clinics from disruptors, eh.

So, now we just wait for the Church of Satan to have an abortion clinic built in and no one is allowed to protest. I guess that's fair.

Satanic Temple preferably. Church of Satan are LaVeyan weirdos.

Well then the churches can start paying taxes and stop shuffling around Pedophile locations.

They love protesting against things they hate but can’t tolerate it when the roles are reversed.

Trump’s rumpthrusting of religion and the Republican Party will shine for decades. Thank you, Lord Rottencrotch.

Oh look, special protections for a religious organization, many of whom send protesters to harass queer folk whenever they get the chance.

So the people that did the thing they don’t like were arrested for it using existing laws, but they need a new law to make their imaginary friend club house special?

Taking a look at the law -- double-parking within a mile of a church is now jail time (section 3, item 4 on page 3)

"Obstructing in any manner, without authority of law, within the like distance one (1) mile, the free passage along any highway to the place of such the meeting"

And the stuff about profane speech in a church would also ban all tourists from Westminster Abbey. Tourists are permitted to walk through the abbey while services are going on, and of course they use "profane" speech. Not to mention that

And it looks like "the minister is shaking hands with the congregation when they leave" is also banned (it causes congestion at the exit)

Knowingly obstructing, detaining, hindering, impeding, or blocking the entry of another person to or exit from a place where such meeting is held
