Justice and Free Speech vs. intolerance and ignorance

From Lynn Vincent in World...

For 19 days in March and April, [pastor] Walter Hoye was locked in a cell with 29 other prisoners at the Santa Rita jail near Oakland, Calif....they clamored to know why a man would choose jail over freedom....

...once a week Hoye stood quietly outside Family Planning Specialists with a sign that said, "Jesus loves you and your baby. Let us help." When people approached the clinic, Hoye would ask their permission to speak with them about abortion alternatives; he also offered them pamphlets describing available help.

In 2007, pro-abortion clinic "escorts" began to show up in groups, surrounding Hoye and impeding his movement....in December 2007, the [Oakland city] council instituted a "bubble-zone" ordinance applicable within a 100-foot radius of any Oakland abortion clinic. The law made it a crime to "approach within eight feet of any person seeking to enter" a "reproductive health care facility" in order to offer literature, display a sign, or engage in "oral protest, education, or counseling."

In addition to their support for abortion, they have a statute that is unconstitutional, intolerant, and opposed to education. Nice!
