A Leeds abortion clinic has hit back at “unthinkably cruel” abortion protesters who have been “distressing” pregnant women outside their building.
A trio of activists spoke out about how they’re sick of people laughing, shouting and honking at them while they preach outside MSI Reproductive Choices Treatment Centre in Barrack Road, Sheepscar. They’ve vowed to picket there for 40 days during the clinic's opening hours, the demonstration started on September 28 and is due to finish on November 6.
Amanda Tierney, Operations Manager at the clinic, has called them out on their behaviour. She is also calling for a national buffer zone around clinics where anti-abortion activists can’t legally picket, so women can access abortion care safely, in privacy and with dignity.
