Summary
The city of Pittsburgh prohibits speech and advocacy—including prayer—in painted zones outside medical facility entrances. The city chose to paint and enforce censorship zones on the sidewalk outside only two facilities in the entire metropolitan area—Pittsburgh’s two abortion clinics—and banned face-to-face conversations by pro-life sidewalk counselors only.
