of course. No one follows men into brothels or massage parlours when they're breaking religious vows and harasses them (though perhaps they should)

Steamfan · 23/05/2020 22:43

Yes!

Ipadipod · 23/05/2020 22:43

100% yes . It’s one thing to protest but to hurl insults at the women going in is horrific.

Hillocrew · 23/05/2020 22:46

Yes.

100% yes.

I support exclusion or buffer zones outside of clinics.

There was a successful campaign for exclusion zones outside of clinics, which was overturned by the then Home Secretary Sajid Javid.
Since then the anti abortion campaigners have ramped up their harassment.

Jonb123 · 23/05/2020 22:55

Yep

Dozer · 23/05/2020 22:56

Yes: there should be “buffer zones”.

FthisS · 23/05/2020 22:57

100%

emmetgirl · 23/05/2020 22:57

YES!

EmeraldShamrock · 23/05/2020 22:58

Yes.

Elieza · 23/05/2020 22:58

Yes ban

meow1989 · 23/05/2020 22:59

Absolutely.

Cheeeeislifenow · 23/05/2020 23:00

Yes they are similar to westboro Baptist Church in my view.

lonelySam · 23/05/2020 23:02

Yes

Someonesayroadtrip · 23/05/2020 23:23

Yes! Sickening to think some people feel they have a right to traumatise women in vulnerable situations.

People of course can protest whatever they want, as is their right, but to do it outside abortion clinics is wrong on so many levels.

PurpleFrames · 23/05/2020 23:41

Without a doubt
And I don't personally agree with abortion- yet I see a time and a place for discussion on the issues and it is absolutely not in the street.

PickAChew · 23/05/2020 23:42

Hell, yes.

ChiefClerkDrumknott · 23/05/2020 23:44

Absolutely

Alexindiamondarmour · 23/05/2020 23:45

Yes absolutely

emiliet123 · 23/05/2020 23:50

Yes and anybody who does stand outside harassing women about what they should do with their bodies should be confronted with a similar experience during a tough time in their lives.
Absolutely for everybody having their own personal opinion on abortion, but should NEVER force your ideals on others. It makes me so angry 😡

JenNtonic · 23/05/2020 23:51

HELL YES

ShinyFootball · 23/05/2020 23:57

Yes 100%.

If they disagree with the law then the place to protest is parliament.

Rather than targeting individual women who may be vulnerable who are accessing a legal medical procedure.

mingetout · 24/05/2020 00:07

Yes, yes and yes. Have been there and had a protestor shouting at me, made a horrible situation 100% worse.
