      I am conflicted about a petition happening over here to keep abortion protesters at a distance from clinic doors. On the one hand, I support the right to protest & the free expression of views in public places. On the other, this gets close to forcing people to listen.

      Also to harassment and intimidation of individuals who have had things shouted in their faces and been squirted with water. I supported the banning of Britain First from the entrances of certain mosques after they intimidated people going in and out.

          People have the right not to go to abortion clinics and mosques, of course, and can avoid protests this way, but this verges on intimidating people out of exercising their freedoms, reproductive and religious.

          Obviously, protesters who exhibit threatening behaviour can be arrested but I'm inclined to think that keeping them just far enough away not to get in people's faces isn't a terrible idea.

          Not conflicted on this at all. You can protest. At a certain distance. Not the entrance. Harassment is not needed to get your message out.

          Exactly. The goal is NOT protest. It IS intimidation. Protest would be aimed at lawmakers, not the women who've had to make the difficult choice to undergo a LEGAL procedure.

          This should be recorded and prosecuted. Isn’t that the police and CPS’s job? The rights of normal protesters shouldn’t be infringed because of the actions of protesters who harass or squirt people.

          Honestly, what kind of person thinks that’s okay?

          It's not about morality, not all things that are wrong should be illegal. The concept of "public land" applies. Once you start choosing allowance of content/location of speech, it gets risky. Since very few things are 100% agreed on as universally right/wrong. (If any).
