In a December judgement that fined The Church At Planned Parenthood $110,000:

TCAPP repeatedly violated Washington state law by “willfully or recklessly disrupt[ing] the normal functioning of a health care facility” by, among other things, “making noise that unreasonably disturbs the peace within the facility.” KXLY

A Spokane County judge ruled that TCAPP violated state law for their protests which interfered with patient care.

Last week saw another legal victory for Spokane Planned Parenthood (SPP):

Spokane Planned Parenthood (SPP) has won its lawsuit against The Church at Planned Parenthood (TCAPP), as the Spokane Superior Court sided the SPP in December.

The church was fined over $100,000. Following the settlement, both parties negotiated to settle all remaining claims and attorney's fees. It was determined that TCAPP will need to pay $850,000 to account for those fees.

This development comes just two years after members of TCAPP held rallies directly outside of SPP, as members reportedly blocked access to the clinic, intimidated patients and at times carried concealed weapons. The rallies attracted a variety of local and national hate group representatives. — MSN
