Fury at year-long Home Office delay over protest buffer zones at UK abortion clinics

Pro-choice MPs and activists have expressed their frustration at the government’s failure to implement a law on buffer zones around abortion clinics one year after 297 MPs voted in favour of the zones and as women face a new wave of protests when accessing reproductive care. A Home Office spokesperson told the Observer that timelines would be confirmed “in due course” but refused to explain why the law was not yet in force and failed to confirm if a consultation on safe-access zones legislation had been launched. Labour MP Stella Creasy, who has been targeted by anti-abortion protesters, called on the government to urgently intervene. “The Home Office hasn’t even got the courtesy to think of a decent excuse about why they are ignoring that vote or why in the bill they put this backdoor block on a woman’s right to choose to have an abortion in peace,” Creasy told the Observer.
