protested outside the first ever private abortion clinic in Northern
Ireland as it opened to the public on Thursday.
Around 200 protesters brandishing placards saying "Life is precious"
and showing photographs of foetuses were gathered outside the
privately run Marie Stopes clinic in central Belfast.
One banner read: "Abortion? The people of Northern Ireland say 'not in
my name'."
Police have warned the media to avoid photographing or filming the
faces of any clients or staff entering the clinic, which is housed in
a nondescript building.
The Police Service of Northern Ireland said any film or pictures
identifying anyone going into the building would be a breach of
British law and the European Convention on Human Rights.
One protester, James Dowson, who had travelled from Scotland to
represent the UK Life League, said the clinic was "a money-making
business" and "a gruesome deadly business that deals with the killing
of unborn children".
