OPINION
_________________________
SUTTON, Chief Judge. Sisters for Life, several individuals, and another pro-life
organization wish to offer leaflets and compassionate, if sometimes unwelcome, speech to
women entering abortion clinics in Louisville, Kentucky. But Louisville-Jefferson County
limited their speaking and pamphleteering in buffer zones near the entrance of each clinic.
Because these limits likely violate the First Amendment, see McCullen v. Coakley, 573 U.S. 464,
497 (2014), we preliminarily enjoin them. |
