As of today it is a criminal offence to attempt to "influence a person’s decision to access or provide abortion services within 150 metres of a clinic" in England and Wales. Such "influence" could include silent prayer according to the government’s new draconian rules.
“Protection zones around abortion clinics are now in force”, states a post from the UK Home Office on social media platform X.
“We are safeguarding women from any form of intimidation or harassment.”
