Yes

BitchPeas · 23/05/2020 16:06

100%. They’re disgusting misogynists.

AnyFucker · 23/05/2020 16:08

In a heartbeat

Morningstar666 · 23/05/2020 16:08

Yep. Harassment in many instances. At minimise there should be a ban with in a certain distance.

AteAllTheAfterEights · 23/05/2020 16:10

Yes, absolutely

ifyoulikepinacolada · 23/05/2020 16:10

Yes, they’re despicable.

Cherrysoup · 23/05/2020 16:11

Totally, they have no idea of back stories and have no right to make a difficult experience even more so. Bunch of twats and I told them so when I went past them on the way to Mordor on an epic walk from car park to ward when visiting my mil in hospital.

CremeEggThief · 23/05/2020 16:11

Yes. It's inappropriate for them to be there.

WisestIsShe · 23/05/2020 16:11

Absolutely

WatchingFromTheWings · 23/05/2020 16:11

Yes.

Polly99 · 23/05/2020 16:12

Yes.

jackparlabane · 23/05/2020 16:12

Yes - their intent is to harass. I know some say they are only being a silent vigil, but I've never known that to happen in practice.

Aardvarkitsabloodyaardvark · 23/05/2020 16:12

Yes definately

endofthelinefinally · 23/05/2020 16:13

Yes. I support the right to peaceful protest, even for those I don't agree with, but what these people are doing is harassment.

truthisarevolutionaryact · 23/05/2020 16:14

Yes. Leave women having a legal medical procedure alone. It's misogynistic harassment.

Tara336 · 23/05/2020 16:14

Yes

TheSmelliestHouse · 23/05/2020 16:14

Yes

bluefoxmug · 23/05/2020 16:18

absolutely

2ndStar · 23/05/2020 16:18

Yes.

Women have the right to end a pregnancy. People who disagree with women having this right have the right to protest. They should not be allowed to group in a way that forces women to walk through their protest in order to access abortion services. How is that not targeted harassment? How does it help their campaign? Are they hoping for a poster woman who changes her mind after being shown graphic images of foetuses and called a murderer?

DifficultPifcultLemonDifficult · 23/05/2020 16:18

Absolutely. They are, more often than not, ill informed, cannot come up with a logical reason to be there harassing women beyond a vague "saving lives" with posters and leaflets showing factually incorrect information and photoshopped images.

Its harassment, and wouldn't be allowed to happen for any other medical procedure.

Magicbabywaves · 23/05/2020 16:19

Yes. Absolutely.

Onone · 23/05/2020 16:19

Yes definitely
