Key points: An anti-abortion "training day" has been moved from its planned venue The Opposition Leader says calling the event a protest was encouraging violence towards women Protesters outside the original venue said the forced move was a win for their cause Politicians from the Liberal Party, Labor, Family First and SA Best were due to speak at the Enid Lyons List training day today. Mr Speirs said the journalist was "perpetuating hatred" and "violence" towards young women for asking about the Enid Lyons List event.
