The case is about a Colorado law that regulates speech-related conduct within 100 feet of health care facilities where abortions are performed. The law prohibits speakers from approaching unwilling listeners within eight feet for the purpose of passing a leaflet or handbill, displaying a sign, or engaging in oral protest, education, or counseling. The petitioners, who engage in "sidewalk counseling," filed a complaint alleging that the law violates their First Amendment rights to free speech and press. The court analyzed whether the law is content-neutral, narrowly tailored to serve a significant government interest, or leaves open ample alternative channels of communication.
