A California court has temporarily blocked a law that prohibits free speech within 30 feet of any facility that administers vaccines. The court’s ruling puts the law temporarily on hold while the case is ongoing. The legislation, signed last month by Governor Gavin Newsom, created a 100-foot buffer zone around any vaccine administration site and bans free-speech activities within 30-feet of any person who is within 100-feet of the vaccine site. Under the new law, any peaceful prayer or sidewalk counseling outside vaccine facilities may be construed as “harassment.”

Right to Life’s Fresno office is located right next door to a Planned Parenthood abortion facility. Because that facility administers HPV vaccines, members of the pro-life group were forced to suspend their annual 40 Days for Life campaign in order to abide by the new ruling.

The Associated Press reports that U.S. District Judge Dale Drozd ruled that the 30-foot prohibition, contained in what he called the “uncommon definition of ‘harassing,’” was too restrictive, saying that the state’s definition of the word “is far broader than the dictionary definition of the word ‘harass.’” Drozd did leave in place the portion of the law that prohibits “obstructing, injuring, intimidating or interfering,” ruling that these “appear to more precisely target the harms that the Legislature sought to prevent and further the state’s interest in ensuring that Californians can freely access vaccination sites.”
Right to Life of California is being represented by the Alliance Defending Freedom. “Free speech won the day not just for our client, Right to Life, but for every other speaker in California. We applaud the court’s decision to protect the First Amendment rights of every Californian, regardless of their […]

We Often Feel Like David Taking on Giants
Today’s Goliath is the Mainstream Media Industrial Complex that brainwashes the masses.
Our mission is very straightforward: To counter the false narratives and nefarious agendas destroying America today. It isn’t easy for obvious reasons; despite incredible growth over the last year we are still a very tiny fish in a huge media pond. But we’re fighting and we will continue to do so, Lord willing, for as long as we possibly can. The battle for America’s present and future is too important for us to back down to the giants that stand in our way.
We need help. I don’t want to say “desperately,” but the need is definitely great. If you have the means, please donate through our GivingFuel page, PayPal, or our Substack page. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!
