Washington (CNN) -- A Kansas church notorious for
its angry, anti-gay protests at military funerals will continue the
controversial practice despite new restrictions in a bill passed by
Congress that awaits President Barack Obama's signature.
"That's really not going
to change our plans at all," Westboro Baptist Church spokesman Steve
Drain told CNN on Friday. "We're going to continue to do that. We're
also going to continue to obey all laws."
The next planned protest
is at a military funeral Saturday in Lincoln, Nebraska, and Drain said:
"We'll be out there, doing our thing."
Under provisions of a
comprehensive veterans affairs bill that won final congressional
approval Tuesday, protesters must be at least 300 feet from military
funerals from two hours before they start until two hours after they
end.
