    Bernard Keane Retweeted Lyle Shelton

    In the all the years Lyle has been whining about the right of fundamentalists to harass women legally accessing health services, he's never explained why they can't just pray at home. Maybe, like "pray away the gay", his "prayers" are just a figleaf for abuse?https://twitter.com/LyleShelton/status/1004897706685239296 …

    Bernard Keane added,

    Lyle Shelton @LyleShelton
    Law already stops harassment. Peaceful prayer, respectful free speech & life-saving sidewalk counselling is what has been criminalised. The silence of most @The_Nationals & @AusLiberalParty members is further evidence of drift to radical @Greens Left. https://www.smh.com.au/politics/nsw/abortion-clinic-safe-access-zones-become-law-in-nsw-20180607-p4zk18.html …

        They could also pray for childcare, hospital funding, early childhood education, living wages, work health & safety standards, closing the wage gap, TAFE and higher education funding. You know, stuff people need.

        I was expecting a smell of sarcasm in my tweet. They don’t want to just pray. They want to prevent access to reproductive health care.

        @LyleShelton this sidewalk counselling - is it something people sought out, asked for, want; is the counsellor qualified; or is it some nut shoving his views down the throats of any poor sap who needs to be there?

        Lyle courting as much attention as possible, to shore up his coming bid for the Qld senate with Bernardi party.

        Lyle's own holy book (Matthew 6:6) "But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you."

        @LyleShelton Why don’t they open an office nearby and anyone having second thoughts could stop by to talk to them just like any other counselling service. Everyone knows standing next to the front door is pure harassment. Presumably then anyone can set up outside your office?

        @phbarratt Lyle has an odd understanding of the word radical. Strange, given he is one.

        Exactly - if God is truly everywhere then why does proximity need to be an issue? Virtuous signalling indeed.

        It may be that they have come to terms with the fact that praying things away is not the most effective manner of making the point. My take on that is the celestial phone lines are constantly engaged because quite a few people are dialling and the 'line is busy'. 🙄

        They might not have signed up for the premium prayer subscription so need to be closer to their prayer targets or their god only has the magical prayer powers that don't extend very far
