Home Office Consultation – Safe Access Zones.
MP's voted to permit exclusion zones outside of abortion clinics, but the Home Secretary James Cleverly (yes, the Date Rape Drug Joker) plans to water those proposals down, and has issued a consultation.

BPAS have prepared a guide to responding to the Home Office’s consultation about non-statutory guidance on abortion clinic safe access zones;

''New laws designed to protect women from being harassed outside abortion clinics are being watered down by Home Secretary James Cleverly, it has emerged.
MPs last year voted overwhelmingly in favour of the creation of 150 metre-wide “safe access zones” outside clinics to stop anti-abortion campaigners from handing out leaflets, holding prayer vigils and showing graphic images to women.''
