The order which you showed reads:- ‘Protesting’ means being in the restricted area (whether by yourself or with others)....' and since this woman had a previous history, and since she couldn't give a lawful reason for being there........ she was 'being there'...... loitering.
The full quote says:
‘Protesting’means being in the restricted area(whether by yourself or with others) and
engaging in any act of approval or disapproval or attempted act of approval or disapproval,
with respect to issues related to abortion services, by any means. This includes but is not
limited to, graphic, verbal or written means, prayer or counselling
Notice the word I bolded and underlined? "AND" - that means that being in the area is not enough to be considered protesting. You have to be in the area AND engaging in one of the prohibited acts. Prayer is included but not "loitering" - they can't arrest someone for just being in the area.
