Two years ago, campaigners won a long fight to ban anti-abortion protests from a clinic in south Manchester - allowing women their right to access safe and non-judgemental treatment.
The MSI Reproductive Choices centre in Fallowfield, previously known as Marie Stopes, has barely seen a 'pro-life' demonstrator since the council agreed to introduce a public space protection order on Wynnstay Grove and the area surrounding the clinic.
The buffer zone, which has been described as making 'the world of difference,' has allowed staff to continue providing caring and compassionate services, which include early medical abortion, surgical abortion, counselling, contraception, vasectomy and STI screening and treatment - without judgement or ridicule.
