Safe access zones introduced around UK abortion clinics

Safe access zones of 150m have been introduced around UK abortion clinics after new measures came into force at the end of October.

This means that it is now an offence to influence, obstruct or harass anyone within this distance of an abortion provider.

The zones came into force on 31 October following the Public Order Act which passed last year.

At a central London abortion clinic, the North West Londoner investigated whether the zones were having an effect, and spoke to representatives on both sides of the debate.
