just another useless protest

tell em all to go home .. please .. what's the problem now ?

Ignoring reason and science and imposing your beliefs on everyone else has been going on for millenia.

A few extra BJ’s from the ladies would solve the problem all round then. No babies killed.

Everyone IS entitled to their own view and opinions. BUT NOT to push it onto others. Live and let live.

an American white evangelical crusade has come down to Melb to start agitating anti abortion The world is over-pop we can not afford to have 10bils on the planet

The battle against abortion is a good battle and we will never give up.

ProLife ProBirth ProChoice

It's sad to see Australia sink so low. Murder should never ever be considered a decent act. On top of shedding all morals it is a disgrace to see trouble on the streets.

Free country. Nobodys forcing them to abort.

For centuries? Lol the end of Ho v Wade will fix these misfits

Were they all there about abortions or were there some ‘mission 2 Melbourne’ I don’t know why I’m protesting people there as well?

Centuries?

If anti abortionists were denied the right to protest, in line with their acceptance of people's right to choose being removed, would they complain?

Yet when disabled advocates speak about sterilization: SHUT UP SWEETIE AND LET US REAL WOMEN SPEAK. Enough controlling Ableism.

There are numerous options available if you don’t want to keep the child. Killing a child should never be the only option. They are innocent and they are extremely vulnerable.

Pro choice? What choice does an unborn baby have?

You don't want an abortion, ok. Then piss off and mind you own business.

For Centuries? Please refer me to the tomes containing these facts.

Do they realise that the issue was an American one and did not involve Australia?

Don't like abortion? Don't have one then.

I wish I loved anything as much as the left loves killing babies

Have you considered some balance in your reporting, ABC? This is pretty embarrassingly lopsided toward pro-choice. Considering they clearly designed their counter protest in such a way as to make trouble, this is pretty poor.

Unless you are my doctor, stay the hell away from my healthcare.

Melbourne- the unnecessary but let’s protest capital of australia

Based on what? Religion?

No one has the right to police girls and women, or their bodies, or their personal medical business, there are not two sides to this conservation.

Aren't we sharing values with US, ABC?

Really?

The media makes them out to be bigger than they really are and stokes the flames so violent confrontations can occur to drive up traffic to there articles.

So the rally was in relation to a stupid decision made by a stupid country on the other side of the globe. just coz america does something doesn’t mean we’ll do it

The main reason why women have an abortion is none of our f&king business!!

Lefties seem to have a thing for killing kids... Sad.

Cookers: the government is taking away our personal liberty, forcing us to have poison jabs and locking us down. Leave us alone government! Also Cookers: the government should decide what happens with your body and prohibit abortions.

If she doesn't want, or can't afford a child why should others force her too keep it?
