No-one ever argued that a naked man in a women’s changing room wouldn’t be a threat but if you believe that is what that issue is about then I don’t. It’s very much more involved than that. It isn’t just about men taking advantage of a new environment. It’s about how we respond to the needs of the transgender community.

Nor does anyone believe that a woman praying in the street is a threat. It depends on the street and the perceptions of those who might witness the activity. So if she choose another street, which impacts no-one, who loses? Christian kindness requires her to be sensitive to the feelings of others. The law demands it be followed by all.

The two issues are completely different and cannot be conflated.

Certainly, they are being held responsible – they are being arrested for it.
The pro-abortion organisation ‘Shout Your Abortion’ book says “Abortion is normal and beyond that, it is a matter of individual liberty. Telling our abortion stories is a form of resistance - abortion is a celebration of life.” Doesn’t seem to be much severe stress there.
Certainly, these pettifogging regulations are a form of law, my main point throughout these posts is that it is bad, repressive law if you can't stand silently in a public street without being arrested.
I’m happy to stand by my view that anyone feeling intimidated by someone standing silently in a public street, is probably mentally ill, regardless of whether they are stressed or not.

No one is suggesting that most people who turn up for abortions are cheering like that crowd of feminists and soy boy activists in Ireland, however it's most definitely true that much more restrained attitudes towards abortion are attacked by the so called progressives.

As for the leftist obsession with 'misogyny', half of aborted babies would be females. This line is always a nonsense. To suggest that being against how abortion is run, celebrated and promoted in modern times is about hating women is quite something.

It's a tin ear.

Of course

And it doesn't depend upon context or history.

As long as they don't have a clown mask on eh?

After all, what could possibly go wrong with a four-times convicted religious fundamentalist just hovering around those people that are her prime targets in life.

Funnily enough, most people having an abortion aren't part of Shout Your Abortion, I am not sure anyone in the UK is. That is another American import constructed as a reaction to the proposed de-funding of Planned Parenthood.

Assuming you had some form of youth, you will know people that have had an abortion. I suspect, along with many on this thread, you will be blissfully unaware. Let's face it, if I had an abortion I wouldn't tell anyone I didn't trust with the information. I am not aware of anyone 'shouting their abortion' in Croydon, maybe I am missing something.

Frankly I am shocked by the unforgiving and misogynistic tone of this debate. Women aren't chattels to be controlled. Yet reproductive control by men runs through history like a stick of rock. Isabel Vaughan-Spruce and her sister are simply mouthpieces for the Catholic Church's views. I thought we had gone beyond such indoctrination in (most of) the UK.

Oh boy, isn't the right wing and religious media having a field day from this one clearly 'disturbed' woman. I wonder why.

My view of the Taliban? 7th century Islamic fundamentalism is anti western.

As feminist progressive books are being shown I link Jordan Peterson's rather forceful take down of these faulty interpretations of the past and leftist buzzwords in his interview with British GQ four years ago.

When these ideas encounter criticism they don't do well and it's really only within criticism free environments that they thrive......which is why they are in our universities where victimhood and virtue signalling live as advantage in the former and brownie points in the latter.

Sure, I can only turn on the light, you have to do the looking.
