207 all about the freedom of the church in this country to proclaim the truth and to stand up for life. It is not about violence, it is about free speech, it is about proclaiming the truth that the unborn child should be protected. This is an effort to stop the church from doing her mission.

Sekulow: "If we're not careful, the right to proclaim the truth is going to be limited to the four walls of the church. Within those four walls, that's going to be it. Now what's happened, government agencies invade those four walls and say, 'Church, you cannot speak on this issue anymore, you can't speak on this topic, because it might be political, therefore your violating some law.'
