The Irish Lower House of Parliament has voted for the creation of buffer zones around healthcare facilities which carry out abortions.
The public spaces within 100 metres of abortion providing facilities are to be free from any type of activity that may be construed as seeking to influence or interfere in any way with a woman’s intention to have an abortion.
The Bill in the Irish Parliament was passed by 117 votes to 10, backed by claims from the Irish Council for Civil Liberties that there is public support for the restrictions.
