London Suburb Votes For ‘Buffer Zone’ Around Abortion Clinic

Hank Berrien

On Tuesday, a suburb of London saw its city council vote to establish a “buffer zone” around a London abortion clinic to prevent women seeking abortions from being confronted by pro-life activists.

And what were the pro-life activists doing in Ealing that was considered so dangerous? “Brandishing graphic images of aborted fetuses,” according to Reuters. But Antonia Tully of the Society for the Protection of Unborn Children told members of parliament that the supposed intimidation “is not what is happening.” Another SPUC spokesperson, Alithea Williams, said, “If people were genuinely being intimidated then of course we would want to condemn that, but there are laws in place about harassment and intimidation and nobody has been arrested at these sites.”
