Wisconsin Supreme Court Overturns Restraining Order Against Pro-Life Protester

The Wisconsin Supreme Court unanimously ruled to overturn a court order that barred pro-life advocate Brian Aish from interacting with a Planned Parenthood nurse, citing violations of his First Amendment rights. The case stemmed from alleged threatening messages Aish conveyed to the nurse, leading to an injunction in 2020 that was upheld in 2022 but dismissed in 2024 by the Supreme Court. The decision referenced the need to prove 'true threats' under the First Amendment, emphasizing free speech protection. Justices highlighted that the injunction restricted Aish's speech excessively, failing to meet strict scrutiny standards and impeding his right to address a contentious moral issue.
