A “gross” abortion facility, BPAS Bournemouth, recently found to have dumped aborted baby remains into a single container, is to be sold. Its announced closure follows the imposition of a “buffer zone” prohibiting pro-life speech and even the making of the sign of the cross.
The BPAS abortion facility on Ophir Road had just received a low rating from the Care Quality Commission (CQC), with its safety status rated “requires improvement”. Its leadership was also found to be “inadequate”, as reported by SPUC.
The CQC inspection found that individual baby remains had been dumped “into a shared vessel”, while three abortions “had been carried out without the required legal documentation being present or fully completed”.
“The public deserves to know what horrors take place inside these grotesque facilities”, SPUC stated at the time.
A few days later, the same BPAS facility was granted a so-called “buffer zone”, restricting pro-life free speech and intercessory offers of help to desperate mothers not wanting to abort their babies.
Even silent prayer and the sign of the cross were “prohibited”. Failure to comply with this “Public Spaces Protection Order” (PSPO) can result in prosecution.
Then, on 18 October, MPs voted 297 to 110 to impose “buffer zones” around all abortion facilities – an offence now punishable by up to 2 years in prison – an “outrageous assault on civil liberties”, said SPUC.
SPUC comment
A SPUC spokesperson said: “BPAS’s Ophir Road abortion facility has a shameful history of callousness and blatant disregard of human beings. Its inhuman ethos, which underlines abortion, is what women and their unborn babies should be protected from.
“Instead, the illiberal imposition of buffer zones obscures the horrors that take place inside abortion facilities, which, in league with extreme abortion ideologues, have even sought to outlaw the sign of the cross.
“While the gross Ophir Road facility is to close, it leaves behind a shocking legacy of death and expunging of freedom.”
