EXCLUSIVE — Americans United for Life filed a brief in the Supreme Court to overturn abortion-related free speech restrictions allowed in a 2000 high court case.
AUL filed the brief, obtained exclusively by the Washington Examiner, in support of a New York case challenging the precedent, where sidewalk counselor Debra Vitagliano was barred from informing women seeking abortions of alternative options.Westchester County, New York, passed a law in June 2022 prohibiting people like Vitagliano from engaging in sidewalk counseling, based on the 2000 precedent in Hill v. Colorado.
Citing Hill specifically, Alito said the court's abortion precedent had"distorted First Amendment doctrines." The law"is not a 'regulation of speech.' Rather, it is a regulation of the places where some speech may occur," the 6-3 opinion by former Justice John Paul Stevens said. "This Court may have overturned Roe v. Wade, but Roe’s distortion of First Amendment law continues to infringe upon the fundamental rights of sidewalk counselors," AUL, an organization that predates the Roe decision, said in the brief.
