Glasgow plans abortion clinic buffer zones to protect patients from activists

Nicola Sturgeon says horrific' US supreme court decision will embolden anti-abortion protesters in Scotland

Abortion clinics in Glasgow are expected to be protected by Scotland's first buffer zones to prevent patients being intimidated by anti-abortion activists.

Nicola Sturgeon, the first minister, said work was under way to establish whether council officials could use local bylaws to set up buffer zones before Holyrood passes legislation to authorise them at national level.
