Protest, Proportionality, and the Politics of Privacy

Richard Albert, Oxford University

Abstract

This Article is an exercise in comparative constitutional law and politics. It is both descriptive and analytical. It explores how--and explains why--Canada and the United States have mediated the tension between the right of access to abortion clinics and the freedom of religious expression. It also illuminates why both nations have privileged the right of access to abortion clinics over the right to free religious expression.
