"So far in American history, our government has respected the freedom of individual conscience and of institutional integrity for all the many religious groups that shape our society. The government has not compelled them to perform or pay for what their faith tells them is immoral. That’s what we’ve meant by freedom of religion. That’s what we had believed was protected by the U.S. Constitution. Maybe we were foolish to believe so.” Cardinal Francis George of Chicago.

Prayer Needs;
Maybe it's time for Loud Speakers.
Massachusetts law allows the Buffer Zone in part because "Importantly, most, if not all of this expressive activity, can be seen and heard by people entering and exiting the buffer zone, and also by people inside the buffer zone...To begin, the 2007 Act places no burden at all on the plaintiffs’ activities outside the 35-foot buffer zone. They can speak, gesticulate, wear screen printed T-shirts, display signs, use loudspeakers, and engage in the whole gamut of lawful expressive activities" - McCullen v. Coakley, 573 F. Supp. 2d 382, 413-15 (D. Mass. 2008)
