It was a roller-coaster of a news day today, so it was a roller-coaster of a BradCast<\/i> on KPFK<\/a>\/Pacifica Radio<\/a>.<\/p>\n

First, I was joined by Katie Klabusich of KatieSpeak.com<\/a> and Eric Scheidler of the Pro-Life Action League<\/a> (PLAL). Klabusich was recently “targeted” by PLAL on their website<\/a>, for her work as an abortion clinic escort trying to help women seeking cancer screenings, termination of pregnancies, prenatal care or birth control as they face a gauntlet of anti-choice protesters.<\/p>\n

Klabusich wrote an “Open Letter to Legislators From a Clinic Escort” this week at Truthout, calling for buffer zones around such clinics, so women can visit their doctor without harassment. Scheidler, who says he supports buffer zones around voting precincts, disagrees that buffer zones should be allowed around reproductive medical facilities. He also feels that his organization did not<\/i> threaten Klabusich by posting her name, photo and the city where she lives and works and asking supporters to share it far and wide under the guise of “praying” for her.<\/p>\n

It was an enlightening conversation with the two of them.<\/p>\n

In the second part of the show, Constitutional Law expert Ian Millhiser joined me to discuss today’s horrific Supreme Court ruling in McCutcheon v. Federal Election Commission<\/i><\/a> and the “money laundering by rich campaign donors,” that Millhiser argues<\/a> it will now allow.<\/p>\n

Two totally different issues, both posing serious questions surrounding First Amendment free speech issues.<\/p>\n

All of that, and a bit more here and there (including Desi Doyen and our “April FOX Day” Green News Report<\/i><\/a>) in this week’s show. Enjoy!<\/p>\n
