The wider implications though, as per usual, focuses on the rights of religiosity.

As for prayers outside the church, on church property, that is still the church's space – and thus, private property. I can't see how that may be impacted unless the church property actually borders the clinic's property. And, who's building abortion clinics right next door to a church?

I don't see this as much a free speech issue as an invasion of healthcare PRIVACY issue. What about women's rights to privacy in that most private of care – gynecology and obstetrics? For twenty years, my only women's healthcare was Planned Parenthood. I never had nor sought an abortion. But, I still had to run the gauntlet of the forced-birthers "protest" line. I still had to face down their in-your-face accusations and demonization just for seeking the only women's healthcare available to me in my socioeconomic demographic. I had to endure the occasional over zealous jostling or outright shoving. For twenty years. Every. Single. Time.

That's not protest, that's abuse and threat of violence. What about those "wider implications?"
