Legal Analyst Coffey: First Amendment Key to Court Abortion Ruling

Thursday, 26 June 2014 07:11 PM EDT

The First Amendment was the key element in the Supreme Court's decision to strike down a Massachusetts law that set a 35-foot buffer zone on sidewalks outside abortion clinics, attorney and legal analyst Kendall Coffey says.

"They're coming out very strongly in favor of the First Amendment,'' Coffey, of Coffey Burlington PL in Miami, told "The Steve Malzberg Show" on Newsmax TV.

"The Supreme Court is … pretty protective of the right to protest, that's kind of what got our country started in the first place.''
