  • Summary

  • Starting today, new protection zones around abortion clinics will make it illegal to harass, obstruct, or attempt to influence anyone seeking or providing abortion services within 150 metres. But what does this mean for women accessing clinics and the potential impacts on pro-life protests?

    Host Liz Bates visits a London clinic to hear from medical staff who have faced abuse when going into work, and speaks to Lily, who told us "my abortion wasn't traumatic. The harassment I received was", when pro-life protesters were outside when she went for an abortion.

    Plus, Liz interviews Jess Phillips, parliamentary under-secretary of state for safeguarding and violence against women and girls, who told the Daily, that she feels proud that the law has come into force.
