It's now illegal to hand out anti-abortion leaflets outside clinics or harass or obstruct any staff or patients.

Silent prayer within these zones would not necessarily be a criminal offence, depending on an individual's wider conduct.

Kamala Harris and Donald Trump are hot on each other's heels today, campaigning in the same battleground states with less than a week to go until polls close. 


The White House hopefuls will be in Wisconsin and North Carolina, following the Vice-President's finely toned address to 75,000 people last night, in which she drew a stark contrast between herself and the former President. 


She's also separated herself from the current President, after Joe Biden called his predecessor's supporters — or, as he later clarified, their language  — "garbage", the word recently used by a speaker at a Trump rally to describe the US territory of Puerto Rico.
