Adam Smith-Connor, a 51-year-old man, was convicted for violating a Public Space Protection Order by praying silently outside a Bournemouth abortion clinic. The safe zone, established in October 2022, prohibits protests and vigils related to abortion. Smith-Connor received a two-year conditional discharge and was ordered to pay over £9,000 in costs. New regulations will extend buffer zones to all abortion clinics in England and Wales by the end of October.
