<\/div>

Efforts to place a “quiet zone” around the Family Planning Associates (FPA) abortion business in Chicago have halted for now, though a buffer zone is still in place.<\/p>\n

In November of 2023, Planned Parenthood and Alderman Bill Conway asked<\/a> the Committee on Public Safety to ban bullhorns, speakers, and other amplification devices from the streets surrounding FPA, saying pro-lifers are \u201cincreasingly aggressive\u201d and have been \u201cactively running\u201d towards women while yelling and chanting. Conway claimed pro-lifers are placing amplification devices right next to the FPA building \u2014\u00a0something even the FPA medical director denied.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been inside while this is going on and \u2026 you can literally feel the building shake because of this amplified intimidation,” Alderman Conway claimed. “It\u2019s so loud that the staff at the clinic\u2019s intake desk can barely hear what patients are saying to them.\u201d<\/p>\n

Eric Scheidler, executive director of Pro-Life Action League, said this is false. \u201cThey are lying. There\u2019s no way,” he told Live Action News in November. “They say that the building is shaking. This is a brick building. If this brick building is shaking from someone using a battery-powered megaphone, then they have building code problems on their hands. \u2026 They\u2019re lying when they say they can\u2019t hear themselves inside the building. There\u2019s just no way that that\u2019s true.\u201d<\/p>\n

Yet Conway has been unsuccessful at passing the ordinance, as it has failed twice in six months. Last week, Ald. Nick Sposato and Ald. Ray Lopez used a parliamentary measure to delay the vote by one meeting. \u201cFurther delay of this measure will only seek to heighten this harassment,\u201d Conway said, adding that he will try again a third time. \u201cDo not worry. This delay will not stand. And this will pass. This very constitutional measure.\u201d<\/p>\n

Yet Sposato said the opposite, questioning if the ordinance would \u201csilence freedom of speech,” and asked why abortion facilities alone were being \u201csingled out.\u201d Chicago is already an incredibly pro-abortion city, with then-Mayor Lori Lightfoot saying she wanted it to be an “abortion oasis<\/a>” in 2022.<\/p>\n

FPA has a long history<\/a> of injuring women<\/a>. At least three women are known to have died there, including a 13-year-old girl, while one of the abortionists has been sued for malpractice 10 times. The city of Chicago, meanwhile, has refused to release<\/a> 911 records regarding injuries to women at FPA, even though the federal Freedom of Information Act requires these records to be made available once identifying health information has been redacted.<\/p>\n
