No buffer zones for abortion clinics

[AssassinatedBeauty]

So says Sajid Javid. The Home Office review found cases of harassment and damaging behaviour, but decided that as they weren't frequent enough that nothing needs to be done to challenge it. I find this hugely disappointing.

I suppose individual councils can implement them on a case by case basis, but that leaves plenty of room for inaction too.

I thought we'd won this?
Fucking hell, the UK gets more authoritarian and more like the USA every day.

I put it in AIBU.

Good idea, thanks. I've posted on that thread too.

Just heard this on 1 o’clock news. Flipping livid. “Not a proportionate response”.

Yes individual councils can still implement on a case-by-case basis, I understand, as Ealing did. So lobbying individual councils is the next action then I guess.

Why don't they just do it? They already have the power.
This shouldn't be a stupid question.

Because obviously, sajid, as a man, would understand how women must feel having to run the gauntlet when accessing a legal health service.

Twat.

How many women, and unfortunately girls, have to be harassed before it becomes a problem?

I think some people with the ability to change things don't because they believe women should be punished or called out for having a termination.

Just more evidence that the Tories hate women. Women's lives and happiness and bodies are expendable.
