The U.S. Supreme Court turned down a chance to change its previous decision that allowed buffer zones around abortion clinics, even though two of the court’s most conservative members were against it.
The court said in two orders that it would not hear challenges to laws in Carbondale, Ill., and Englewood, N.J., that stop anti-abortion activists from “sidewalk counseling” people who are going to an abortion clinic.

Based on the Supreme Court’s decision in Hill v. Colorado in 2000, lower courts upheld the ordinances in both cities. That decision said that a similar law in Colorado did not violate the First Amendment.
