Anti-Abortion Protesters Lose Home Picketing Suit

ORLANDO (CN) - Protesters who allegedly frightened a Planned Parenthood officer outside her home can not challenge a new law that forbids such demonstrations, a federal judge ruled.

Winter Park, Fla., passed the ordinance after 30 anti-abortion protesters lined up outside the home of Orlando Planned Parenthood CEO Jenna Tosh in August 2012 and would not leave until it began to rain.

They held signs with Tosh's name showing graphic images and phrases such as "baby killer." They shouted her name in between chants and songs.

Part of the ordinance passed the following month states: "It shall be unlawful for any person or persons to picket, protest or conduct any picketing or protesting activity within a buffer area of 50 feet from the property line of any dwelling unit in the city of Winter Park."

1. If you do it outside a place of business, it's picketing

if you do it outside someone's home, it's harassment and intimidation.
