Pro-Life Signs OK in Minnesota

The Minnesota Supreme Court last week reversed the conviction of two pro-life advocates who were charged with creating a public nuisance and violating a city sign ordinance.In 2004, Rob Rudnick and Luke Otterstad stood on an Anoka sidewalk spanning the Ferry Street Bridge.The two held signs with a pro-life message. Police arrested the men after an anonymous caller complained.
Rudnick and Otterstad were convicted,but the Supreme Court ruled the state had failed to prove an essential element of the public-nuisance charge and affirmed the First Amendment rights of the men to display signs.Charles Shreffler, an Alliance Defense Fund-allied attorney, was pleased with the decision."Pro-life advocates cannot be singled out for unfair treatment under the law," he said."This decision reminds law enforcement officers that they cannot arrest and prosecute pro-life advocates because those officials take offense at the content of their speech."
