Answer
No-one should feel harassed or be intimidated simply for exercising their legal right to healthcare advice and treatment. We recognise that anti-abortion protests outside clinics can leave patients distressed. The steps that the Government is taking to support women who are affected in this way are set out in the Written Ministerial Statement my Rt Hon Friend, the Home Secretary, issued on 13 September 2018.
