Home Office review over harassment at abortion clinics New laws could be introduced to protect women from harassment outside abortion clinics, the Home Office has said.
An assessment of protests held outside clinics has been ordered by the home secretary, following concerns about the tactics used by some protesters.
Amber Rudd said it was "unacceptable" that anyone should feel intimidated for accessing healthcare.
But anti-abortion campaigners said it was "ludicrous" to suggest new powers, because women were not being harassed.
The Home Office review will hear from police forces, healthcare providers and local authorities to understand the scale and nature of anti-abortion protests. BBC News
