Westchester repeals abortion clinic buffer law teed up for Supreme Court challenge--Asher Stockler--Rockland/Westchester Journal News

The Westchester County Board of Legislators acted quickly on Monday to gut part of a pro-abortion rights law that is currently being teed up for a challenge before the U.S. Supreme Court.

The board voted on Monday to repeal part of the so-called "bubble zone" law, which was passed in the days following the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, a decision that had grounded federal abortion rights for decades.

The Westchester law prohibits obstructing entry into a reproductive health care facility, including an abortion clinic, creates a 25-foot "no harassment" zone around clinics and barred activists from moving within 8 feet of people entering these facilities in order to counsel them.  MORE AT Abortion clinic bubble zones limited by Westchester amid court battle (lohud.com)
