Calls
for buffer zones to be
introduced
outside abortion clinics to stop patients
being harassed were rejected by Home
Secretary Sajid Javid on 13 September.
He said such protest-free areas around
clinics in England and Wales ‘would not
be a proportionate
response’. A Home
Office review found cases of harassment and
damaging behaviour but they were ‘not the
norm’, with most activities being ‘more passive’ such as showing banners and praying.
Scouts settle
Christian Concern
The Scout Association
agreed
in
late
August to settle a discrimination claim of a
Christian who was expelled from the association after he had sent a letter questioning
its promotion of Islam and Pride events.
He donated his compensation
to
the
organisation that had supported his case.
