The passage of an abortion clinic censorship zone bill through the House of Commons has been delayed.
The Bill would introduce exclusion zones around abortion clinics in England and Wales.
The zones would criminalise the offering of practical and emotional support to women entering abortion clinics, bringing a possible prison sentence of up to two years for those who offer support to women within 150 metres of abortion clinics.
The private members bill from an opposition Labour MP failed to pass through its second stage reading after an objection from one MP. It will return to the Commons on Nov 13th.
