CHICAGO — Following anti-abortion protests and alleged “attempts to harass and intimidate women seeking health care services” at a downtown abortion clinic, aldermen moved Monday to create a new “noise sensitive zone” in the streets surrounding the facility. The City Council’s Public Safety Committee voted to bar protesters from using a bullhorn, loudspeaker or hitting a drum or other object .
Chicago Alderman Bill Conway has announced his intention to push for a “quiet zone” outside the city’s abortion facilities. Though the city already has a “bubble zone” which prohibits pro-life sidewalk counselors from approaching within eight feet of a person standing within 50 feet of an abortion facility entrance, abortion supporters like Conway now want to take this restriction a step further and prevent the use of loudspeakers outside these spaces.
