AUGUSTA, Maine — Maine Attorney General Janet Mills has filed a civil complaint against a Lisbon man for allegedly violating the Maine Civil Rights Act during a protest at Planned Parenthood’s Portland offices.

The complaint by Mills alleges that Brian Ingalls, 26, was so loud during an Oct. 23 protest that he “interfered with the delivery of health services,” even after allegedly being warned to stop by a Portland police officer.

The Maine Civil Rights Act protects the right of any person to receive any sort of medical services without disruptions caused by loud noises, according to a news release from Mills.

1. He'll probably brag about it to all of the other Nuts.

As stated in the article though, I do like the 5,000 dollars he may have to pay.

4. Of course he'll probably get that fine paid for by others

The reich to life has deep pockets and I imagine someone will pay his fine for him.

9. What if the noise is so loud that doctors and nurses can't hear each other during surgery?

In such a case, I believe the government can step in and regulate the speech to prevent injury or death of a patient.

And I'm an ACLU member.

6. about damned time someone stood up to these woman-haters.
