Part of getting anti-abortion protests away from hospitals was that we have no protests at hospitals
I imagine it’s the same people in both but how long until they learn to avoid hospitals?
Seems like it might be a bit more nuanced than that. From the article:
So this may not have broken those laws. There was apparently an incident where the crowd blocked the car of a doctor that was trying to drive home, so perhaps some more care needed to be taken, but I think everyone's just really on edge right now and looking for things to get angry about.

We have this for no protests within 50m of entrances
Ah, that might apply, then. Though that appears to be specifically about abortion clinics, and my googling suggests Mount Sinai might not provide abortions, so it might still be fiddly if it actually went to court.
Even if not, they should probably have still routed around it if only in recognition of the "on edge"ness.
To me that article suggests they do because their problem was with only getting rid of one of the twins which they only do for triplets + and they have a women’s clinic
I wonder more if it applies to all entrances or just to the clinic
