The US has warned the UK that the enforcement of so-called “buffer zones” around abortion clinics and facilities puts the “shared values” of the two countries at risk.
The censure by the US state department comes just over a week after its annual Human Rights Report accused Britain of “serious restrictions on free speech”, reports the Daily Telegraph.
Last year in England and Wales, a new law came in that means people face unlimited fines if they engage in silent prayer or protest within 150 metres of a clinic or hospital providing abortion services.
