| Comment | This isn't just across the ocean in the US, this is just across the water in Northern Ireland, whose religious and political history is not entirely unconnected with our own. The DUP was a literal part of the UK Government from 2017-19.
The recent UK Minister for Health, Maria Caulfield (who was thankfully demoted by Sunak), voted against buffer zones outside abortion clinics and against legalising abortion in Northern Ireland.
And those same US groups are lobbying *hard* here in the UK with the backing of big money. The Alliance Defending Freedom, for example, have a big UK presence and are regularly invited to speak on news programmes against buffer zones. |
