Queensland women seeking a pregnancy termination will be shielded from protesters as abortion law reform comes into effect.
Abortion is no longer criminalized as of yesterday and women are now able to have a termination on request up to 22 weeks or after that gestation with consent from two doctors.
Safe access zones of 150 metres around clinics will come into effect to shield women from harassment from anti-choice protesters, while filming people entering or leaving the clinics will be banned.
