Statement

The way has now been paved by the UK Supreme Court to impose exclusion zones outside centres in Northern Ireland that provide or facilitate abortions.  This is tantamount to enforcing a ban on pro-life activities, including prayer and respectful witness, outside such settings.  Buffer zones will further silence the voice of the innocent unborn.  Given that the law already prevents harassment and intimidation, I believe the new legislation represents a disproportionate response with potentially wide implications for freedom of religion and speech.
