Members of two Alberta political parties want to extend the abortion protest zones to schools across the province, but that proposed change will likely have to wait until after the election. Health Minister Sarah Hoffman said amending legislation to extend abortion protest bubble zones to K-12 schools in Alberta is one of the government's priorities. As per a bill passed last year, abortion protesting is not permitted outside of abortion clinics, with a 50-metre protest-free zone around the province's two stand-alone abortion clinics. Alberta Party candidate for Calgary-Mountain View, Angela Kokott first raised the issue after an anti-abortion protest at Queen Elizabeth high school.
