Abortion protections

MANHATTAN — The Second Circuit partially granted the New York attorney general’s request for an injunction keeping anti-abortion activists from blocking clinic entrances to prevent access to abortion services. A 15-foot buffer zone will be enforced around abortion clinics, not the 30-foot zone requested, and the injunction is limited to the Eastern and Southern Districts of New York.
