2. “The imposition of a 500-foot prohibition from the clinic’s premises is reasonable, enforceable and is not so great as to prevent all protest activity. Though the restriction prohibits probationers from approaching within 500 feet of this clinic, the limitation does not prevent probationers from protesting at any other clinics or attending meetings or distributing leaflets. The restriction is reasonably related to the prior offense and tailored to deter future protests by these appellants at this clinic.... Given the alternatives of imprisonment or some other greater restriction upon appellants’ movements, speech, and association, the 500-foot limitation is reasonable.”

3. “Given the alternatives of imprisonment or some other greater restriction upon appellants’ movements, speech, and association, the 250-foot limit is reasonable. It is not so great as to prevent all protest activity; yet it allows law enforcement officials a buffer zone in which to detect probation violations and discourage repeat offenses before would-be trespassers are upon the fence.”
