SCOTLAND will have the most robust legislation on buffer zones in the UK, the politician pushing for the law has said.
Speaking at a fringe event at the Scottish Greens conference in Dundee, Gillian Mackay MSP said even if Scotland is the last country in the UK to implement a safe access zone around abortion clinics, it’ll have the best chance of getting through the courts.
The Central Scotland representative is in the process of reviewing consultations to her Abortion Services Safe Access Zones Bill which would see a 150m radius enacted around hospitals and clinics offering abortion services. Protesters would be prohibited from demonstrating within this area.
