Ealing Council to end harassment & vigils outside Marie Stopes Clinic

Rejected 20 signatures

What the petition asks

Ealing's abortion clinic is targeted daily by anti-choice protestors holding vigils, standing at the entrance gates intimidating women & sharing medically inaccurate information. Council land is being religiously politicised, targeting vulnerable people accessing legal health care and it must stop.
Below are websites of the two anti-choice groups who hold vigils at the clinic. As you will see, their websites have worryingly misleading information - information that they use in their materials to give to patients.

This petition has been started due to Sister Supporter, a group of local residents of all religions, races and genders who could no longer tolerate the situation on Mattock Lane.
