Texas Supreme Court (June 30, 1993) in the case of Ex Parte: Reverend Keith Tucci, declared that a proposed 100 foot "speech free zone" around abortion facilities violated the Constitution of the State of Texas. The Supreme Court of Texas issued the opinion:
<Today our court continues to favor the growth and enhancement of freedom, not its constraint. The fact that vigorous debate of public issues in our society may produce speech considered obnoxious or offensive by some is a necessary cost of that freedom. Our Constitution calls on this court to maintain a commitment to expression that is strong and uncompromising for friend and foe alike.> 1993TX002
