Chicago Mayor Richard Daley has said he will sign an ordinance to create a "buffer" to keep anti-choice protesters from getting too close to people entering and exiting medical facilities. It is very sad that we need laws like this to protect women as they seek a legal medical procedure but it is fortunate that we do have politicians willing to stand up and defened a woman's right ot choose and not be harassed in the process. Granted this law prevents anti-choice protestors form getting within 8 feet of a woman using a clinic but does nothing to protect them from graphic images being displayed or the verbal harassment they typically recieve as they seek an abortion.
