Eleanor McCullen, who sued the state of Massachusetts for enacting a buffer zone around Planned Parenthood clinics claiming it limits their ability to encounter patients arriving for care, speaks with reporters outside the Supreme Court in Washington, Wednesday, Jan. 15, 2014, after the court heard arguments on a state of Massachusetts law setting a 35-foot (10 meter) protest-free zone outside abortion clinics.

This photo taken Dec. 17, 2013 shows anti-abortion protester Eleanor McCullen, of Boston, standing at the painted edge of a buffer zone outside a Planned Parenthood location in Boston. The regulation of protests outside abortion clinics returns to the Supreme Court for the first time since 2000 to find the justices seemingly more protective of speech and less committed to abortion rights. That combination could prove difficult to overcome for the state of Massachusetts as it seeks to defend a law, in arguments at the high court on Jan. 15, that prohibits abortion protests any closer than 35 feet from the entrance to clinics.
