New law comes in making it illegal to influence, harass or provoke’ anyone using or administering pregnancy termination services within a 150 m ( 492 ft) radius of an abortion clinic in England and Wales .

It will also be illegal to stand and silently pray within the same zone.

Those who break this new law will face an unlimited fine.

Ailish says women shouldn't have to deal with protest, dissent, shaming or argument on the way to receive healthcare.

She says she has seen protesters stop women and strongly try to prevent them from going in.

Both men I interviewed said they didn’t know what they would do from today when the law changes.
