Politicians have called for the Scottish Government to allow buffer zones between anti-abortion protesters and women attending medical appointments
AN SNP election candidate has called on the Scottish Government to consider bringing forward plans to create ‘buffer zones’ outside abortion clinics to stop women being intimidated by protesters.
A long-running campaign in Edinburgh, launched by Scottish Greens councillor Claire Miller in 2018 culminated in health bosses stressing that "as things currently stood there was no overwhelming evidence to suggest the actions were causing unnecessary distress and as such did not feel the necessity to enact any police measures” at the Chalmers Centre in the capital.
