How is blocking them on “moral grounds” even allowed in the first place when abortion is legal?

Have to appeal to religious nutters who (and by this I mean Christians, other relegions see no issue AFAIK) have lobby groups in parliament

Another example

Anti-abortion activist Joanna Howe has been banned from South Australia’s upper house for allegedly using “threatening” tactics towards politicians.

In another incident roughly a week earlier, Dr Howe sparked outrage by labelling prominent women– such as SA Greens leader Tammy Franks– as members of a “baby-killers club” on social media. Franks responded, saying the posts were intended to incite hatred.
