'Buffer zones' around abortion clinics could soon be implemented in Aberdeen after the city council voted through a bye-law that would make women's health care services protest free.
Aberdeen City Council will now begin talks with the Scottish and local governments to establish the buffer zones following the emergency motion which was tabled by Labour Councillor Deena Tissera.
Pro-choice protestors gathered outside Aberdeen's townhouse this morning ahead of the debate. In recent months there have been a number of pro-life protests outside of hospitals across Scotland.
