Federal Judge Enters Final Order Permitting Display of Pro-Life Signs Outside of Planned Parenthood

American Freedom Law Center - On August 21, a federal judge entered a stipulated order permanently halting the enforcement of a City of Ann Arbor, Michigan ordinance that prohibited a pro-life advocate from displaying a “Free Ultrasound” sign in his vehicle, which he parks outside of a local Planned Parenthood.  The order also requires the City to pay $7,000 in legal fees and to reimburse the demonstrator the $50 he had to pay in past fines.    

The federal lawsuit was brought against the City of Ann Arbor and it Chief of Police by the American Freedom Law Center, a national, non-profit Judeo-Christian law firm, on behalf of Paul Dobrowolski, a pro-life advocate.

Dobrowolski, who for many years has engaged in peaceful and non-obstructive anti-abortion protests on the public sidewalks and streets outside of the local Planned Parenthood, was twice ticketed by the City of Ann Arbor for displaying pro-life signs in his vehicle, which he legally parks on the public street outside of the abortion facility.
