The unanimous decision overturned an appellate court decision that had upheld the Massachusetts law. The lead plaintiff in the case, Eleanor McCullen, argued that she wanted to have "friendly conversations" with women to tell them about alternatives to abortions, as The New York Times has reported.
The Supreme Court ruled Thursday that the law blocked places that were traditionally open for free speech - public sidewalks. The government's ability to limit speech in those places is "very limited," the court found.
