Leeds anti-abortion protesters sick of people 'intimidating' and laughing at them

Anti-abortion activists in Leeds have slammed passers-by who laugh at them for kneeling to pray outside a clinic, while they "harass" and preach at pregnant women visiting.

Christian parishioners have vowed to picket outside MSI Reproductive Choices Treatment Centre in Barrack Road, Sheepscar, for 40 days. They’ve been taking shifts to preach outside with their placards and hand leaflets to women entering.

The group has accused passers-by of trying to “intimidate” them by shouting, honking their horns and taking photographs of them. The anti-abortionists have been preaching outside the clinic since September 28 and vow to continue until November 6, as part of their ’40 Days For Life’ campaign.
