Rather than resurrecting this [behemoth](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=607448&highlight=abortion) of a thread from a few years ago, may I just say that Victorian parliamentarians yesterday made it illegal to picket, photograph or otherwise annoy people in the vicinity of an abortion clinic.['Bout time.](http://www.abc.net.au/news/2015-11-27/abortion-clinic-buffer-zone-law-passes-victorian-upper-house/6971220)

I agree with you completely. But you know what’s going to happen now, don’t you?  
I’ll put it in a spoiler box, so if I’m right people can come back and check to see if my prediction was correct.

Alien Vessels is going to come out of the woodwork, with their self-righteous opinions

Errmmm, have to add an addendum, sorry. The clinic that I cited in the thread from 2011 was in NSW, not Victoria, so the legislation passed in Vic yesterday will not apply to the other clinic.

Goddamit! ☹
