A new law restricting protests near clinics and hospitals where abortions are performed is to take effect Saturday .

The NDP government introduced a bill last year that creates buffer zones of between 50 and 150 metres around such facilities.

People are not allowed to block access, attempt to dissuade people from getting an abortion or harass or intimidate individuals.

Other provinces, including British Columbia , have similar provincial legislation.
