Plans for buffer zones surrounding abortion clinics and hospitals where protesters harass and abuse people are vital for women travelling from Northern Ireland.
Liverpool's BPAS clinic, which lies on Parkfield Road in Aigburth, is the only option for hundreds of women from Northern Ireland who seek a safe, compassionate, and non-judgemental abortion. Terminations were illegal in Northern Ireland until a change in legislation was implemented 2020.
