> areas directly outside abortion clinics free from harassment by religious fanatics

There are some videos of "religious fanatics" standing alone, silently, outside abortion clinics, being moved on by police, on the suspicion that they are praying in their minds.

You can't really pick and choose which views are acceptable. Either you have the right to protest peacefully, guided by your own conscience, or you don't.

It's not that simple.

They are allowed to protest and have a protected right to do so; 100m down the road, where they cannot harass vulnerable women.

That's the law, and I hope it stays that way.
