Naomi Wolf: Instructive on free speech rights for all protesters

Naomi Wolf: How I was arrested at Occupy Wall Street | Comment is free | guardian.co.uk: Naomi Wolf is a pro-abortion feminist who has written thoughtfully about the issue. Here she writes about her experiences of being arrested for merely advising Occupy Wall Street protesters with some information that would be instructive for pro-life protesters:

"In my book Give Me Liberty, a blueprint for how to open up a closing civil society, I have a chapter on permits – which is a crucial subject to understand for anyone involved in protest in the US. In 70s America, protest used to be very effective, but in subsequent decades municipalities have sneakily created a web of "overpermiticisation" – requirements that were designed to stifle freedom of assembly and the right to petition government for redress of grievances, both of which are part of our first amendment."
