Buffer Zones in Northern Ireland
01 October 2023
A BPAS spokesperson said:
"We’re delighted to see women in Northern Ireland will be protected from anti-abortion harassment outside healthcare facilities. As a provider of abortion services, we know the hugely negative impact this type of activity has on women who are simply trying to access their legal right to healthcare. Northern Ireland is leading the way with this type of national protection, but we are pleased that thanks to a law passed earlier this year England and Wales will soon be introducing similar zones, and Scotland will be set to debate a bill in the coming months."
