New law: If Ontario doesn’t like what you say, you’re going to jail
March 7, 2018 (ARPA Canada) – A new law took effect in Ontario last month. It is now an offence, punishable by punitive fines and prison, to "attempt to advise or persuade" someone to refrain from having an abortion, or to "attempt to inform a person concerning issues related to abortion services", or to "attempt to perform an act of disapproval [of abortion]" in any way, if the attempt is made within 50m (or up to 150m) of an abortion clinic. 'Access zones' can also be created around hospitals and pharmacies by regulation, up to 150m in every direction.
Informing? Persuading? Disapproving? Imagine, "You're under arrest for attempted persuasion..." It is also an offence to "persistently request", by any means and in any place, that an Ontario abortion provider "refrain from providing abortion services", no matter how peaceful or polite your requests
Liar.
The law does not make "antiabortion protesting a criminal offense". It creates a zone where you are not allowed to shove your views down another person's throat. Outside of that small area you can scream and rant as much as you want.
Why should anyone be allowed a safe zone after the protests against the GOP presidential campaigns, Occupy America protests, BLM protests, and the more recent Civil War monument protests?
*****SMILE*****
When protesting turns into outright harrassment - preventing people from accessing the places they are trying to go...then yes.
You mean like protesters blocking streets or marches and such.
And preventing right wing speakers from speaking on campus.
