Minneapolis Bans Pro-Life Activists From Sections Of Public Sidewalks

  • The Minneapolis City Council adopted an ordinance Thursday that will prohibit pro-life sidewalk counselors from being on sections of public sidewalks.
  • “We believe this proposal is unconstitutional and want to express our opposition as we prepare to challenge it should it go into effect,” Thomas Wilkin, Pro-Life Action Ministries’ sidewalk counseling manager, wrote in an email.
  • The ordinance states that “occupying” driveways of abortion facilities will be prohibited. It defines a driveway as “that portion of a right-of-way, including a sidewalk or bikeway, that provides vehicular access from a street to a reproductive health care facility.”
