Sometimes I get the best Ideas!

Since SCOTUS decided to do away with the buffer zone at Planned Parenthood we can use the same

laws to crowd the front doors of Holly Hobby and interfere with their customers!

Only up to the edge of public property. We could 'counsel' prospective customers from the sidewalk. Shrike47 Jul 2014 #1

But the sidewalk in front IS public property Frosty1 Jul 2014 #4

Parking lots and the sidewalk adjacent to stores in a mall/shopping ctr are usually private. Gormy Cuss Jul 2014 #5

Then the mall would have to block you Frosty1 Jul 2014 #6

Yes, the mall would have to block or give permission to its tenants to do so. Gormy Cuss Jul 2014 #7

The sidewalk out by the public street is where you'd have to be in most cases. Not that it means you shouldn't stand there and protest, just that it's probably a lot further away from the door of the store than the typical distance where abortion protesters are allowed since clinics generally aren't in malls.

Either way, there's a good chance that protesters will be escorted back to the public way and be further from the store than the typical anti-abortion protesters are from clinics.
