Suit was filed this week in a Maryland federal district court alleging that Baltimore's sign permit ordinance violates plaintiff's free speech and free exercise rights. The complaint (full text) in Roswell v. City of Baltimore, (D MD, filed 10/10/2022), seeks a preliminary injunction to prevent the city from requiring plaintiff to obtain permits in order to use A-frame signs when engaging in religiously-motivated sidewalk anti-abortion counseling at a Planned Parenthood facility. Thomas More Society issued a press release announcing the filing of the lawsuit.
