Campaigners are warning of pro-life attacks outside hospitals if laws on exclusion zones are not immediately introduced. We’re very concerned that in the autumn there may be attacks or at least demonstrations outside surgeries, clinics, hospitals. “It’s perfectly clear that until such time as we have that legislation that there is a continuing risk and danger for women. When a woman goes to her doctor, she knows what she wants to do and that needs to be respected." Ms O'Connor also highlighted the fact that women in Northern Ireland still do not have access to abortion services.
