Christian Abortion Protesters Fight Back After Texas Arrests

Four activists protesting abortion were arrested for demonstrating outside a designated free speech zone near the Alamo in San Antonio. Their attorney, CJ Grisham, argues the orders were unconstitutional and unlawful, as they were based on rules from a private organization managing the site. Grisham intends to seek dismissal of charges and potentially sue, criticizing law enforcement for enforcing these rules.

• Four anti-abortion activists were arrested on August 15 near the Alamo in San Antonio.
• The arrests were for protesting outside a designated “free speech zone.”
• The Texas Department of Public Safety officers threatened arrest for criminal trespass if the group did not comply with rules from the Alamo Trust.
• The activists’ attorney, CJ Grisham, claims the orders were unconstitutional and unlawful, stemming from rules by a private entity, not a public ordinance.
• The designated free speech zone is described as too small to accommodate the protesters.
• Grisham plans to fight the charges and potentially sue, accusing police of enforcing unconstitutional rules.
