Petitions had to stop because of the recent general election. Once a new Petitions Committee is set up by the House of Commons, petitions will start again.

Closed petition Change the law to prevent protestors outside abortion providers

Introduce legislation to prosecute protestors outside abortion providers the same as the Australian laws which can result in either a $1200 fine & a year in prison

More details

This law will ensure women safely get access to vital services. The Australian Bill prevents picketing within 150m of abortion facilities. It prohibits harassing, intimidating & threatening patients/staff as well as recording another person accessing premises at which abortions are provided.
In light of increased protests seen at UK abortion providers since the overturning of RoeVsWade - it is vital we protect UK women to prevent them ‘having to run the gauntlet’ to access healthcare.
