Yes, the Kings ruled buffer zones to be unconstitutional, accept for when it comes to buffer zones that they like such as military funerals and oops, the one zoning off the Supreme court itself.

Those "kings" and "queens," including the recognized liberal members like Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan, were unanimous on this though their reasoning was different.

And, in other news, they were pushing back on KING Obama --- unanimously.

Now if they would just disallow those "first amendment zones" where they make political protesters go to keep them out of sight, instead of letting them have the freedom to protest where they need to be protesting...

Cecile Richards (daughter of former Texas governor Ann Richards), who has been the president of the Planned Parenthood Federation of America since 2006, appeared on Bill Moyers' Moyers & Company in an episode entitled "The Crusade Against Reproductive Rights"^[1], where she was asked about the recent unanimous Supreme Court decision that overturned Massachusetts' free speech "buffer zone" around abortion clinics (McCullen v. Coakley).

In her response Richard appears to declare that women getting an abortion is not really any different than a man get a colonoscopy^[2] furthering the radical assertion made by many abortion supporters that an unborn baby is nothing more than a mass of tissue and removing it is similar to removing a polyp or tumor

BILL MOYERS: What do you think will come from the court's junking of the 35-foot buffer zone?

CECILE RICHARDS: Well, we're already seeing in Massachusetts that absolutely, immediately after that decision eliminating the buffer zone we had record numbers of protesters outside of the following women all the way up to the door of our health center in Massachusetts. These are not all kindly, elderly ladies simply whispering in the ears.

And even if they were, it is the right of women in this country to be able to access healthcare that they need without harassment and without the advice of dozens of people outside their health center. I mean, can you imagine if, you know, if men in this country, before going into their doctor had to walk through a gauntlet of protesters telling them, you know, whether it's not to get a colonoscopy or just go down the list? It's incredible.
