On Wednesday, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit heard oral arguments (audio of full oral arguments) in Frederick Douglass Foundation, Inc. v. DC. In the case, a D.C. federal district court dismissed claims that enforcing ordinances prohibiting the defacing property against anti-abortion protesters but not against racial-justice protesters violated free exercise and free speech protections. The abortion protesters sought to paint or chalk D.C. streets with the slogan "Black Pre-Born Lives Matter." (See prior posting.) An ADF press release has more on the case.
