Australian pro-life advocate and distinguished academic gets big win for free speech
When Professor Howe, a distinguished Australian scholar, researched into abortion, she experienced on-line bullying and a series of unjustified complaints about the quality of her academic research into late-term abortion and killing babies born alive after abortion.

She now intends to continue the fight for academic freedom.
