ABC (Australia) News reported that Western Australia voted Thursday to enact a 150-meter buffer zone banning protests around abortion facilities, joining similar laws throughout the country. Pro-lifers who violate the law could be punished with 12 months in jail and a $12,000 fine.

Life News reports:

Abortion activists claim the law is needed to protect women from harassment, but pro-lifers are overwhelmingly peaceful and compassionate. Harassing women would be counterproductive to pro-lifers’ goal of supporting mothers and saving babies’ lives.

Jessica Williams, of Perth, a mother who advocated for the new buffer zone law, believes even peaceful pro-life advocates should be silenced.

“The sight of them causes anxiety. The thought of them being there causes anxiety whether they are peaceful or not,” Williams told ABC News.

But lawmaker Nick Goiran, one of just three in the West Australian Parliament who voted in opposition to the law, said pro-life Australians deserve rights and considerations. He said pro-lifers who are trying to reach out to mothers “out of genuine concern and compassion … should be supported, too.”

“Next, we want to work with the government to increase access to abortion care in Western Australia,” said Marie Stopes managing director Jamal Hakim, according to Student Edge.
