The United States Supreme Court has declined to hear a case that could have led to the reversal of a decades-old decision upholding “bubble zones” outside abortion clinics as the city at the center of the case quietly repealed its ordinance.
On Monday, the U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear a challenge to a law implemented by the city of Carbondale, Illinois, prohibiting pro-life protesters from sharing their message within 100 feet of abortion clinics. Coalition Life, a group of pro-life sidewalk counselors, sought relief from the U.S. Supreme Court.
While the justices declined to hear the case, Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas indicated that they would have granted Coalition Life’s request for judicial review. Thomas penned a lengthy dissentexplaining why he disagreed with the decision not to hear the case, which he viewed as an opportunity to reverse the 2000 Hill v. Colorado decision that upheld a similar ordinance placing limits on pro-life protesters.
