That is breaking the Law |
Protesting isn't illegal and shouldn't be illegal regardless of how silly or absurd the cause may be, but threatening to inflict harm on someone is illegal and is another legal matter separate from your right to protest. |
and Them being Threatening has taken over then just Protesting

There is protesting, and then there is invading people's space. The second is just not on, pure and simple. It's threatening behaviour. It's intimidation. Lock em up

Exactly.
No need to harass and threaten anyone, you can express your views on things without being a dick. It's just a little messed up that some of them that have extreme views feel it's wrong for an abortion but blowing up a clinic, and killing the doctors is fine and not considered a murder.
Those are the serious nutjobs that need to be kept locked away, there are many that just protest semi peacefully. Just need to stay out of people's faces and all.

| This is a good place for it because the stupidity should stay neatly confined. Well done. |

I Wonder if you would feel that way if it was your mum having it all those years ago. Not one of you reprobates have even hinted at standing up for the unborn child.
As a Christian I in no way condone the behavior of some of those that protest outside those reprehensible clinics, but the right to fair protest must be protected.

Two fold; the interesting dichotomy of a pro-life stance and feminism or pro-life from a feminist point of view and showing that intelligent discourse is more powerful than angry protest in changing views or at least making you think about them. Being yelled at, sneered at or talked down to tends to solidify existing views and lead moderates and neutrals into battle against the angry types. Even people who are pro-life, especially the non religious, tend to be against the clinic whackjobs. |

While it is the taking away of a human life which is indisputably in process, and therefore logically indistinguishable, to me, from murder, I think it is a matter for women to determine, not men.
I am always very sceptical when I see people urge easy morality upon others, while knowing that they will never have to pay a significant price for their moral vision, and this such a case. I have seen birth up close, and it is a shocking thing. While anyone may have views on the matter, I think only women should make policy on it.
it’s not necessary to protest outside clinics, when you can effectively protest about this issue outside parliament or the health department. Protesting outside clinics unnecessarily intimidates and harasses people who are probably very vulnerable.
