US Supreme Court to hear appeal by pro-life group against Illinois law restricting counseling near abortion clinics
Share on FacebookShare on WhatsAppShare on TelegramShare on TwitterShare on WeChat

The US Supreme Court has agreed to consider a pro-life group’s appeal against a local Carbondale, Illinois, law that restricts counseling women outside clinics to discuss alternatives to abortion. The Coalition Life advocacy group claims this law infringes upon the First and Fourteenth Amendment rights.

This issue first materialized in 2000 when Hill v. Colorado upheld a similar law that prevented protesters from approaching individuals within 100 feet of a health care facility to hand out leaflets, display signs, or engage in protests or counseling. However, since the Supreme Court’s 2022 decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization overruled Roe v. Wade, the Coalition Life group believes free speech regulation outside abortion clinics deserves further examination.

This concern was echoed by Peter Breen, chief of litigation at the Thomas More Society, who stated that Hill v. Colorado undermined the public discourse around abortion. The lawsuit declared, “There are few things more central to the First Amendment than the right ‘to converse with … fellow citizens about an important subject on the public streets and sidewalks.”

Mary Szoch, from the Center for Human Dignity, expressed her gratitude that the Supreme Court is reconsidering the Illinois law. She highlighted how many women who opt for abortion experience pressure and feel they lack support or alternatives, an issue amplified by laws that silence individuals willing to suggest different choices. The case will now be watched closely as it moves through the Supreme Court.
