What the petition asks
Introduce legislation to prosecute protestors outside abortion providers the same as the Australian laws which can result in either a $1200 fine & a year in prison
This law will ensure women safely get access to vital services. The Australian Bill prevents picketing within 150m of abortion facilities. It prohibits harassing, intimidating & threatening patients/staff as well as recording another person accessing premises at which abortions are provided.
In light of increased protests seen at UK abortion providers since the overturning of RoeVsWade - it is vital we protect UK women to prevent them ‘having to run the gauntlet’ to access healthcare.
