An anti-abortion billboard campaign targeted at pregnant MP Stella Creasy is being pulled down amid claims the posters were a form of harassment.

Clear Chanel, which owned the billboards, apologised and said it was taking immediate action to remove them.

Ms Creasy tabled a recent amendment to decriminalise abortion in Northern Ireland, which was passed by a majority in the Commons in July.

Emma Barnett talked to Ms Creasy about her experience, and asked Aisling Goodison from anti-abortion campaign group CBR why they ran the campaign.
