From Jenn: Escorts, patients, potential future patients, for your safety and that of those around you, it’s more important than ever that you become familiar with the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act – a law unaffected by today’s ruling. Know it. Love it. via the FBI: FACE “makes it a federal crime to injure, intimidate, or interfere with those seeking to obtain or provide reproductive health care services. That includes not just murder, assault, arson, and property damage, but also death threats, burglaries, harassing phone calls, hate mail, and blockades.” This is a federal law, and local law enforcement can refuse to enforce it. Know how to contact the U.S. Marshal Service. Remember that it’s their job to enforce federal laws, even at 6:30 on Saturday mornings when it’s a hassle. Also, remember that many “sidewalk counselors” in violation of federal law will scatter like roaches upon hearing that U.S. Marshals are coming. If you have ANY concerns, you can also contact your respective clinic directly. They all take your safety very seriously, even if SCOTUS does not. All of the security staff at the clinic I worked for are retired Philly cops. Your safety matters to them.
