A pro-life campaigner has denied cackling like a witch in a bid to intimidate the director of the North’s first abortion clinic, a court has heard.

Bernadette Smyth, 51, a high-profile anti-abortion protester from Suffolk Street, Ballymena, Co Antrim, is contesting claims she harassed Dawn Purvis twice outside the Marie Stopes facility in Belfast earlier this year.
