Co-host Alexandra Berauer interviewed Ms. Dana Cody, Executive
Director of the Life Legal Defense Foundation and Mr. Walter Hoye, Founder and President of Issues4Life regarding the legal maelstrom known as anti-reproductive-rights crimes statutes such as exist in numerous states in America and particularly in the State of California.
Anti-reproductive-rights crimes statutes prohibit behaviors that have long been guaranteed under common First Amendment legal understanding.
The right to speak, peaceably assemble and hand out literature on a public sidewalk are bulwark rights protected by the First Amendment. California's anti-reproductive-rights crimes statute criminalizes nonviolent protests at abortion clinics and the distribution of literature within paces of the entrance of a clinic, even when such conduct is peaceable and non-intimidating. |
