Today marks the beginning of '40 Days For Life', a US-based, international anti-abortion campaign where intimidation and harassment outside abortion clinics is stepped up for the 40 days of lent...( 🧵)

⚠️ EALING (just outside the buffer zone 🙄)
⚠️ SOUTHEND
⚠️ READING
⚠️ BRIGHTON
⚠️ KETTERING
⚠️ PORTSMOUTH
⚠️ SOUTHAMPTON
⚠️ BOURNEMOUTH
⚠️ BIRMINGHAM
As part of our campaign for national #bufferzone legislation, we are collecting evidence of clinic harassment from across the country and we need YOUR help!
If you witness an anti-choice presence at a clinic, please use our dedicated Sister Supporter Hotline to report it.
Simply WhatsApp us any images and a description of what was happening with the time, location and date and we will add it to our ever-growing evidence base.
Please remember: anti-choice "protesters" can often be agressive and we do not recommend engaging with them in any way.
Please only take photos if you feel comfortable doing so. (If they are in a public place, you are allowed to take photos without permission).
We urgently need national #bufferzone legislation to protect both clinic users and staff, no matter where they live.
Thank you for your support and please spread the word.
