Buffer zones will come into force around abortion clinics in England and Wales from 31 October .

It will be illegal for anyone to cause harassment or distress to someone accessing or working at a clinic.

Those convicted of breaking the new law will face an unlimited fine.

One abortion charity said the move could not "come soon enough" but a pro-life organisation warned women would lose access to "vital practical support".
