he Australian state of New South Wales recently passed legislation banning pro-life protesters from coming within 150 meters of abortion clinics (almost 500 feet). The legislation passed with a vote of 61 to 18. The law even makes it a crime to attempt “a communication that relates to abortions, by any means.” Legislators’ overwhelming support is surprising given these draconian provisions, which the Sydney Morning Herald described as “the creation of a broad communication offense.” The penalties under the law are significant with the first offense carrying a penalty of up to six months in jail, and up to 12 months for subsequent offenses.
Many states and nations have proposed similar “buffer zone” areas around abortion clinics. Such legislation was struck down by the Supreme Court in the United States. Not only do such buffer zone laws inhibit the exercise of free speech but they also discriminate against pro-life citizens, as the buffer zones do not apply to pro-abortion activists.
One of the few Australian politicians to take a stand against the bill was Tanya Davies, the New South Wales Minister for Women. Speaking in defense of pro-life sidewalk counselors, Davies said, “They [sidewalk counselors] don’t force their views onto these women, they are offering simply another choice to these women — yet this bill will criminalise that offer.”

We need to stop killing babies. it is murder. If you don’t want a baby. keep your damned knees together. This murder is not tolerated.
Free speech is getting hammered in Britain and its satellites.
A “law” people of conscience must defy.
Killing babies is the core of feminism.
Our abortion clinics on the whole, are our hospitals. They are not seperate. Has always more than irked me that the same place were life is given or rescued is the same place we kill our children. Being anti abortion in Australia is a shock to most people and certainly not welcome. I am unsure of the percentages of people who are anti abortion but I think the vote probably reflects that. I suppose the only good thing is that those who hold the position are of the mind that all life is precious and are unequivocal in that stance!
Abortion is the equivalent of killing unwanted children. If you went into a baby ward and killed all the newborns yould be the worst possible....if you kill those prenewborns in the womb 4 months earlier youre striking a blow for liberty. Very sick mentality prevalent.
Apparently there’s lots of money to be made and donated to politicians in the baby parts business.
When this doesn’t work, the State will begin mandating abortions.
Not just there. California charged people who exposed planned parenthood's illegal dead baby parts business with no less than 15 felonies.
No charges filed against planned parenthood or the individual employees caught ON VIDEO negotiations prices and delivery.
This is the power of the feminists. They control the politicians and tell them what to do. Politicians cower in fear at the wrath of raging fang-tooth feminazis.
