The astounding part of this issue is that Wynne had the opportunity to enact the protest free zone with all Party support.  This would have brought about an end to the harassment of women entering and leaving abortion clinics.  This would have ended a discredited form of protest of threat, intimidation, vulgarity, that is undemocratic and a violation of a person's privacy and safety.  A form of protest that brings out unhinged anger on both sides of the issue.

Brown is right.  This move by the government is an attempt to exploit the behaviour of a fringe group of extremists as being reflective of the PC Party.  Brown's move was genuine and representative of the majority of PC Party supporters who are disgusted by this extremism.  It was not cynicism as the author suggests.

Wynne had the opportunity to end this repulsive conduct but she chose to use vulnerable women as pawns.  Her political maneuvering is as disreputable as these fringe protestors.
