Abortion law 
 protest fear

Peaceful pro-life protests and prayers outside abortion clinics in England and Wales could soon be illegal under proposals set out in the Public Order Bill.

Under an amendment to the Bill, put forward by Rupa Huq MP (see photo), anyone within an abortion clinic buffer zone who interferes with a pregnant woman going for an abortion faces up to two years in prison.

If the amendment is passed, anyone who is within the 150-metre buffer zone of an abortion clinic and ‘interferes’ with a woman’s decision to have an abortion will be committing an offence.
