The Alameda County District Attorney is seeking to ban Oakland Pastor Walter Hoye for life from the abortion clinic he’s been protesting.
Oakland Pastor Hoye was arrested last year at the Family Planning Specialists Medical Group for violating Oakland’s “bubble” ordinance that keeps protestors from within 100 feet of women entering the clinic. He served 30-day sentence and was ordered to stay outside the bubble during his three-year probationary period. Now Tom Orloff, district attorney for Alameda County, wants that motion to be permanent.
Ron Prentice, executive director of the California Family Council, said he’s flabbergasted by the D.A.’s motion.
“This is unbelievable,” he said, “in that it has absolutely nothing to do with the law which the district attorney is supposed to be most interested in upholding.”
Despite the motion and a recent federal court ruling against him, Pastor Hoye remains undeterred.
“I’m still going down to the clinic,” he said. “I’m still standing on the sidewalk. I’m still reaching out to the men and women who are seeking to abort the child inside the womb of the mother.”
