Confining Free Speech in Pittsburgh

Two Pittsburgh City Council members introduced legislation today that would govern protests near clinics, hospitals and other healthcare facilities.

The legislation, sponsored by Councilmen Doug Shields and William Peduto, would create a 100-foot zone around entrances to healthcare facilities. People could protest within that zone but could not go within 8 feet of a person seeking to use the facility without that person's consent.
It would bar any protests within 15 feet of the entrance to a healthcare facility
