Bill Would Limit Protests At Military Funerals
POSTED: 11:50 am EST January 5, 2006
LINCOLN, Neb. -- Disturbed by protests at military burials by members of a church who say God is punishing American soldiers, a Nebraska lawmaker wants to limit how close such protests can be to a funeral service.
Sen. Mike Friend of Omaha has introduced a bill that would make it illegal to picket within 100 feet of any part of a funeral service.
Similar measures have been introduced in Missouri, Indiana and Oklahoma.
The Rev. Fred Phelps, of Westboro Baptist Church in Topeka, Kan., contends that U.S. soldiers are being killed in Iraq as God's punishment for America's acceptance of homosexuality.
Westboro's members have protested at the funerals of scores of troops killed in the war.
