Los Angeles County Supervisor Lindsey Horvath proposes a "bubble zone" ordinance for August 6th to protect individuals entering/leaving healthcare, schools, and places of worship from unwanted protester interactions.
Los Angeles County Supervisor Lindsey Horvath proposes a "bubble zone" ordinance, set for August 6th Board of Supervisors meeting, aiming to protect people entering/leaving hospitals, medical clinics, schools, or places of worship from unwanted interactions with protesters. The proposed 8-foot buffer within a 100-foot radius from entrances is inspired by a 1993 Colorado law. While not explicitly mentioning abortion, bubble zone laws often relate to abortion rights protests. The ordinance seeks to balance freedom of expression with individual rights to access healthcare, worship, and LGBTQ centers without fear of violence.
