calling for buffer zones to be set up to remove protests from outside hospitals or clinic to ensure women are not intimidated when seeking legal treatment.
Mr Cunningham’ s motion states: “Those who seek to have the law changed are entitled to their views and to campaign for such a change but that should not extend to harassing individual women attending hospital or clinics. He said buffer zones are the “best and most appropriate way to balance the rights of women with the rights of those who may wish to change the law”.
