Heyyyy, I know how to keep these guys away!
Abortion clinics provide a legal medical procedure, for which they are bedeviled by protesters who harass patients and passersby, quite often break laws, and on a number of occasions have shot people. One Georgia town has an answer to this unpleasantness: It's
banning abortion clinics.
When reporters from the Times Free Press asked Mayor Teddy Harris why he put forth that ordinance, the lawmaker responded that he was simply thinking about what types of businesses he didn’t want in his city. He doesn’t think abortion clinics are “appropriate” because they’ll bring “drama” to Rossville.
“We want to be a peaceful city,” Harris said. “We don’t want to have any protesters.”
At a guess, he actually doesn't want abortions, or he might see giving the protesters exactly what they want as a little more problematic. At another guess, if unions started protesting non-union businesses in town, it wouldn't be the non-union businesses the Rossville mayor and council would label as drama magnets and ban.
It's not like there was an abortion provider in Rossville or the county where it's located, anyway. This is more of a PR thing establishing where the local government's sympathies lie—with screaming, toy-fetus-waving protesters, not with women seeking health care.
