The Marie Stopes International<\/a> abortion clinic in Fallowfield has been granted a no-protest safe zone after years of intimidation from anti-abortion campaigners.<\/p>\n

It is a victory for campaigners following their three-year battle for the buffer zone to be approved by Manchester City Council<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u2018Killing lives\u2019 and \u2018think of the baby\u2019 were some of the messages anti-abortion demonstrators shouted through megaphones at service users and clinic staff.<\/p>\n

There were also religious demonstrations and one woman sat outside the clinic breastfeeding her babies.<\/p>\n

Shelley Doherty, 43, has worked at the Marie Stopes clinic almost five years and says she has experienced the harassment and the distress it has caused women on a daily basis.<\/p>\n

Shelley said: \u201cIt was dreadful to witness coming into work. It was gut wrenching for us as staff.”<\/p>\n

The buffer zone (a public spaces protection order) covers the Marie Stopes International clinic and its vicinity, prohibiting prayer vigils, leaflet handouts and any other form of anti-abortion protest.<\/p>\n

Shelley has been instrumental in the three-year battle for the buffer zone, providing evidence and support.<\/p>\n

She has worked alongside Sister Supporter<\/a>, a pro-choice organisation passionate about helping women access a legal healthcare service<\/a> free of judgement and harassment.<\/p>\n

There is a six-week appeal period for the PSPO allowing anyone to challenge it in the high court, but already the clinic has seen less protestors since the news.<\/p>\n

Shelly said: \u201cI feel better coming into work now. We will all feel like a weight is lifted off our shoulders\u201d<\/p>\n

After the six weeks have passed unchallenged, those who break the order can be fined or be prosecuted.<\/p>\n

In the meantime, the pink vested volunteers of Sister Supporter remain outside the clinic to support service users.<\/p>\n

For the organisation the victory is just the beginning of a bigger mission calling on the government to implement buffer zones in all premises registered to provide abortion services.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
