ENGLEWOOD — A federal lawsuit challenging protest-free buffer zones around abortion clinics and other health-care facilities in Englewood has been withdrawn.
The plaintiffs, two anti-abortion advocates known for counseling women outside an Engle Street clinic, voluntarily dismissed the suit last month, according to City Attorney William Bailey.
The reason for the dismissal was not clear. The attorney who filed the suit, Edward Gilhooly of the Legal Center for Defense of Life in Morristown, died in August. His co-counsel, Francis Manion of the American Center for Law and Justice in Kentucky, did not return calls for comment.
Rosemary Garrett, one of the plaintiffs named in the suit, said she hasn’t spoken to her attorney in a couple of weeks and did not know the status of the case. The second plaintiff, Claudia Reid, could not be reached.
The suit was dismissed without prejudice, which means the plaintiffs could re-file it in the future.

Feminazis get special privileges because they donate to democrat campaigns. People have been arrested around their clinics for praying.
They deserve no special privileges. None. Same rules for them as for everybody.
“Anti-Abortion Advocates”, do they call the so-called pro-choicers, “Pro-Abortion Advocates”?
I don’t know, maybe it is okay to call them that though I would say “Pro-Lifers”.
Recent court decisions pretty much ruled in favor of other pro-life organizations with similar fact patterns. Based on that, there is no reason to proceed with this particular case since the issue has been favorably decided.
Do those courts have jurisdiction over Englewood, NJ?
Not sure, but there may have been a favorable U.S. Supreme Court ruling during the late part of last years session.
