Law enforcement and Dutch cities are cracking down on pro-life demonstrations near abortion centres.

Mayors can’t ban people from demonstrating at abortion clinics, but they may set limits to prevent disorder. Therefore, they can prohibit demonstrations directly in front of the entrance.

The Dutch Christian Democratic CDA has won fourteen seats in the general elections on Wednesday.

The Lower House in The Hague rejected a resolution that would declare abortion a human right.

The Dutch parliament voted in favour of a ban on “gay conversion” on Tuesday. A majority supported an initiative bill by the social-liberal D66 and liberal VVD.
