It could soon become illegal to protest outside ACT abortion clinics under draft legislation being developed by Greens MLA Shane Rattenbury.

The draft laws could make it illegal for people to protest in the vicinity of the clinics at certain times and to prevent them from filming people entering and leaving.

Mr Rattenbury said the bill will mean women could access medical services safely and discreetly.

"I've been approached by members of the community in the ACT who want to see this put in place so that a woman can access a legal abortion service without feeling like she has to run the gauntlet at a time in which she might already feel vulnerable in seeking the service," he said.

"In the ACT we have certainly have seen a range of protests and vigils taking place outside the Territory's recognised abortion facility."

The legislation could create an exclusion zone around medical facilities that provide abortions.

"The legislation has a very defined area immediately around the ACT Health building and covers the opening hours of the facility," Mr Rattenbury said.

"It includes the footpath outside the building and across the street.

"This is not an anti-protest bill, this is a bill about protecting a woman's right to privacy when seeking a medical service."

Mr Rattenbury said a ban on filming people going in or out of the clinic would also be included to prevent people using social media to embarrass.

"Limiting the ability to take photos of people accessing services is a recognition of the changing nature of protests and social media activities."

Similar legislation already exists in Tasmania, where it is a criminal offence to protest within 150 metres of an abortion facility.
