Interestingly, the FACE Act in these United States ("Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances") provides equal protection to crisis pregnancy centers and other related pro-life clinics and counseling offices. The definition used by FACE covers pro-life and pro-abortion facilities alike, and so all types of pregnancy centers have the same buffer around them, protected from fanatics who would harrass vulnerable mothers who are about to make a momentous choice which affects them, their children, the father, and their whole family.
