Palm Beach supports law and order
Palm Beach just passed a buffer law to give women some relief from the American Taliban - domestic terrorists who use violence and intimidation to further their quest for total control over women's personal medical decisions.
City commissioners on Monday approved a law that will prohibit anti-abortion protesters from coming any closer than 20 feet to the driveways of the last remaining Palm Beach County clinic that provides abortions, nearly three months after someone set fire to it.
Planned Parenthood Vice President of Public Policy Helen Reid (center) celebrates outside city hall after West Palm Beach approved the buffer zone Monday.
A related measure passed Monday prohibits "amplified sound" and "unnecessary noise" within 100 feet of the Presidential Women's Center and other medical facilities in the city.
The law takes effect on Oct. 6, meaning that what some call "sidewalk counseling" and others call "terrorism" can take place outside the center for one more Saturday, the busiest day, without the buffer zone.
