(The Christian Institute) — Ealing Council’s ban on peaceful pro-life campaigners has been described as a “sad day for women.”
Councillors voted unanimously to introduce the UK’s first ever abortion clinic Public Spaces Protection Order (PSPO), in a move celebrated as “a landmark decision” by pro-abortion campaigners.
Pro-lifers have spoken out against the council’s decision. Elizabeth Howard, spokeswoman for new campaign group Be Here For Me, said the result was sadly expected.
Howard said, “This PSPO is a draconian ban that will criminalise ordinary citizens who just want to offer help to vulnerable young women outside abortion clinics.”
