And Australia has deported American anti-choice extremist Troy Newman, head of the militant anti-abortion group Operation Rescue. The group is known for its targeted harassment of abortion clinic workers, including murdered abortion provider Dr. George Tiller. Newman had planned to travel to Australia for an anti-choice speaking tour, but Australian authorities cancelled his visa amid fears his rhetoric could lead to violence against women and medical professionals. Newman attempted to enter Australia illegally without the visa, but was detained and deported. Australian Parliament member Terri Butler said Newman had flouted Australian law.

Terri Butler: “The guy got on a plane knowing he didn’t have a visa and tried to get in past immigration and customs. I mean, you can’t get more contemptuous of Australian law than that.”

Troy Newman says he plans to attempt to enter Australia again.
