title: Pursley v. City of Fayetteville, Arkansas, 10 June 1987.
abstract: The plaintiff anti-abortion demonstrators challenged a city ordinance proscribing picketing a residence or dwelling place.  The ordinance had been enacted after complaints of the neighbors of a physician whose home had been picketed. The Court held that the ordinance was over-broad and in violation of First Amendment free speech rights, since it dealt with picketing in a public area and did not distinguish between picketing in neighborhoods near commercial areas and purely residential neighborhoods.
