The High Court has ruled safety buffer zones protecting women from harassment outside abortion clinics in Victoria and Tasmania are valid.

Two anti-abortion activists asked the High Court whether laws creating a 150-metre buffer zone outside abortion clinics infringed on free speech after they were convicted and fined for protesting too close to clinics in Melbourne and Hobart.
