I move amendment No. 164:
In page 16, between lines 30 and 31, to insert the following:“Offence against medical practitioner or healthcare facility
25.(1) It shall be an offence for a person, persons, or group to expose in any way the name of a medical practitioner, practitioners, or healthcare facility that has, is, or will carry out or participate in the termination of a pregnancy for the purposes of harassment.
(2) It shall be an offence for a person, persons, or group to protest or harass a medical practitioner, practitioners, or healthcare facility that has, is, or will carry out or participate in the termination of a pregnancy.
(3) A person who is guilty of an offence under this section shall be liable on conviction to a fine or imprisonment for a term not exceeding 12 months, or both.
(4) A prosecution for an offence under this section may be brought only by or with the consent of the Director of Public Prosecutions.”.
