You're right, it's not a protest, it's simple trespassing and violating a protective order.

Silently praying alone can not be considered activism. Actism aims to change something be it laws or public opinion, this necessitates to be loud, to be big this is the absolute antithesis of what the woman did. If their was a group praying that would have been activism if the woman was loudly praying that would have been activism. The only reason we even know about this is because the police arrested her if nobody bothered her nobody would haven even known about this "illigal activism" heck people passing on the street wouldn't even considered this to be activism at the time.

In 2019, the residents needed to make 57k/yr for a "modest living". Whatever the case is, those that make the laws should be able to identify with the commoner they make the laws for on an income basis. They shouldn't be put into poverty, but neither should those in the region of governance.

Is standing somewhere, praying, alone, not even making a sound a protest? Would be praying infront of a memorial than also be a protest?
Protests are done to make headlines they are big actions to change public opinion or change laws. In that sense a woman silently praying alone can hardly be considered a protest. As her being silent and her being alone are the opposite of a protest if the police didn't arrest her nothing literaly nothing would have happened.

Is this the first raise they’ve given themselves in a while?

It's more Venn diagram of those who have clinical depression social anxiety and other mental disorders that cause them to basically become blind to their hygiene issues. Magic the gathering and Warhammer have this issue with many game stores I know going so far as to make a dedicated section for these gamers where the closer you get the more intense febreze there is.
Its not just being antisocial there's normally a good amount of mental health issue going on.

OK guys just so we all know and everybody understands why this is a big deal.
Spinner dolphins hunt at night and they sleep during the day. They take shelter along the West side of the big island during the day and sleep.
Biologists have spent a great deal of time figuring out, with science, that when we wake them up all day long by swimming it's bad for them. We stress them out and prevent them from getting a good night's rest. This leads to lower birth weights and poor hunting for them.
Swimming with the dolphins if they are Spinner dolphins is actually really bad for the dolphins. How would you like it if somebody would come to your house, while you were sleeping, and thought it was cool to come into your room and walk around your room in the middle of the night?
The sightseeing industry has focused on connecting people to humpback whales. To say they were disappointed in the federal law changing and protecting Spinner dolphins is an understatement. Here on the Big Island there is a whole telegram channel dedicated to lovers of dolphin swimming. There position to the most part is "As a human I can wake those sleepy fucks anytime I want."

TL;DR bullshit. An abortion protestor was protesting where it isn't allowed and got arrested.

It's not very accurate, it's activism, within a legal exclusion zone outside abortion clinics. They're just making it seem like their "right" to pray somehow supersedes other people's rights.

"The law also establishes exclusion zones – public space protection order (PSPO) – within a radius of 150m around the abortion clinics. Mrs. Vaughan-Spruce was notably accused of having violated this order."

Her presence was a protest. It was not allowed. She knew this. She can face the consequences of her actions, just like everyone else.
The United Kingdom does not have the same free speech laws as the United States. The government is tired of people harassing women simply for seeking healthcare. They can protest in the street, they can protest in their churches, they can protest in their homes. They can protest right outside the exclusion zone. But if they break the law, they will face the consequences.
