JACKSON, Miss. (WLBT) - Most mornings outside of the Jackson Women’s Health Organization start out with anti-abortion advocates picketing and making noise as patients make their way inside.
“People scream at women coming in here that they are murderers, that they’re here to kill their baby. No one should have to be subjected to that. They walk right up to them, give them no space,” said Derenda Hancock, an organizer with Pinkhouse Defenders.
She and the other members escort people in and out of the clinic.
The City of Jackson is introducing an ordinance that would push these protesters back by creating buffer and bubble zones for the clinic.
“The proposed ordinance creates a buffer/bubble zone surrounding JWHO, 15 feet for picketing and a 100 foot buffer/8 foot bubble for approaching people to give pamphlets or to speak with them. It also tightly regulates amplified sound around the clinic, prohibiting amplified sound within 100 feet of the property line," said the Defenders.
“I think every abortion clinic in the nation should have a buffer zone, a bubble zone, to protect that patient to give them the privacy they deserve,” said Hancock.
Afternoons are much quieter around JWHO as Barbara Beavers with 40 days of Life held her sign outside of the clinic.

Bubble zones have generally been ruled unconstitutional. Political parties always want them around their convention sites, and the courts rule that is not legal.
Why should abortion get a pass?
Put the buffer zone in hell.
I’m fine with a buffer zone. Just let liberals and Democrats through the perimeter.
Special rights for pet causes of the socialists.
Any buffer zones to stop socialists around:
For those wearing MAGA hats?
Christian bakeries?
Conservative politicians?
Gun stores?
Chick fila?
Etc.
Well my pepper spray is rated at 12 feet.
I guess I have a 12 foot buffer zone.

But they ARE murderers, and they ARE there to kill their babies. In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.
