(Right to Life UK<\/a>)\u00a0Following the defeat of an amendment to the Public Order Bill that sought to lessen the impact of censorship zones on freedom of speech and thought, Stella Creasy MP released a video in which she gloated about introducing buffer zones, which will criminalise offering help to women outside abortion clinics.<\/p>\n

Last week, MPs rejected an amendment<\/a> to the Public Order Bill that sought to make clear that \u201cconsensual communication\u201d and silent prayer would not be criminalised under the new law. MPs rejected the amendment by 298 to 117.<\/p>\n

Following the defeat, Stella Creasy MP, a long-time supporter of removing abortion safeguards and a key player in forcing abortion on Northern Ireland against the will of the populace<\/a>, released a video<\/a> on Instagram celebrating the defeat of the amendment.<\/p>\n

In the video, she \u2018lip-syncs\u2019 to the hit song \u2018Livin\u2019 on a prayer\u2019 by Bon Jovi, alongside her colleague, Rupa Huq MP, who attempted to introduce censorship zones<\/a> outside abortion clinics on numerous occasions over the past few years.<\/p>\n
