*TRIGGER WARNING* Would you Agree with a law to ban pro life protesters outside abortion clinics?

[Tryingtoslim]

Just interested in peoples thoughts

Ideally I'd ban abortion clinics entirely and just have it as a gynae appointment at the hospital. And these protestors wouldn't have anywhere to target

That way it takes away the stigma, abortion should be so much more accessible than it currently is.

Yes

Definitely.

Of course as they have no right to harass women the way they do

No

No.

Absolutely

Yes I would. It is a woman’s choice and she should not be subjected to such vile behaviour when making one of the most difficult decisions there is.

Definitely.

Here in Ireland, after the 8th Amendment was repealed, a group started protesting outside the National Maternity Hospital with fake tiny coffins. Knowing full well people were going in and out who were affected by miscarriage, stillbirth, TMFR etc.

I was pregnant at the time and it was fortunate for them that they weren't there when I was attending any of my appointments. I wouldn't have been responsible for my actions.

Yes

Of course!

No I wouldn't. In that people should be freely allowed to stand outside an establishment in silent and peaceful protest. If people were using abusive language or targeting individual people they should be removed by police.

Unequivocally. They are the lowest of the low.

Yes definitely. I had to have a termination for medical reasons two years ago and there were a group of pro-lifers standing outside the maternity hospital after my procedure. I felt like shoving their placards where the sun didn't shine.

Yes, 100% behind it. These people are nasty lunatics.

Yes

Yes. I've given pro-lifers a piece of my mind in town before. They had set up a huge banner.

Yes

Yes

no

Yes. I've supported the BPAS campaign for 'buffer zones' since it started.

As the churches who fund these individuals won't agree to voluntarily stop their harassment, then yes I do think that it should be legislated against.

People should be able to go about accessing their lawful healthcare without being harassed and intimidated.

Yes 100% , i loathe those people.

I’ve signed the petition and sent to my MP

Probably won’t make a difference but still

Yes
