Supreme Court Strikes Down Abortion Clinic Buffer Zone(s) incorrect headline

'In 2000, the Supreme Court upheld a similar Colorado law in Hill v. Colorado. That law established 100-foot buffer zones outside all health care facilities, not just abortion clinics. Inside those larger zones, the law banned approaching others within eight feet for protest, education or counseling without their consent.

Massachusetts experimented with a similar law but found it inadequate.'

VERY annoying (polite word) that NYT and others incorrectly state facts in headlines, which are unfortunately very important.
