Judge strikes down part of law limited vaccination site protests
A federal judge has struck down part of a California law that limits protests at vaccination sites.
California lawmakers recently passed legislation that establishes a buffer zone around vaccine locations and people entering them.
But an anti-abortion group filed a lawsuit, since abortion clinics provide certain STD vaccines.
The judge took issue with the law’s definition of “harassment," which includes activities like passing out leaflets and displaying signs.
A temporary restraining order allows protesters to carry out those activities, but still prevents them from obstructing and intimidating people entering vaccination sites.
