CWN Editor's Note: The Irish government will propose legislation that would make it a crime to engage in any activity outside an abortion clinic that could be interpreted as an effort to influence a woman’s decision.

The legislation would include silent prayer as a punishable offense, punishable by up to six months in prison. The ban on prohibited activities would extend across a border zone of 100 meters around an abortion clinic.
